Training & Nutrition with Louise Nash and Izzy Anderson
We want our training to be fun, inclusive and, if you want it to be, challenging. As well as our usual club nights, which we hope tick all these boxes and more, we’ll be putting on some extras over the coming months, so keep an eye out for details in the monthly Newsletter and our social media platforms (if you’re not already in these groups, ask one of the run leaders who can arrange for you to be added in):
- Facebook group “Saltaire Striders Chat”
- WhatsApp group “Saltaire Striders”
ON NOW
Beginners group – we need your help! We are going to start a 12 week beginners’ programme early Feb and need some friendly Striders to help deliver it – not just run leaders, who will be busy leading our regular club runs, but any Strider who is willing to turn up on a beginners’ night (Mondays and Thursdays initially) and support the leader by simply running with the group and encouraging. It doesn’t have to be a regular weekly commitment, although that would of course be nice! Just whatever time you can spare. This is a great way to give back to the club without too great a commitment. Contact Donna if you’d like to be involved: DonnaMHector@aol.com
Time trials– a great way to challenge yourself and chart your progress: once a month, usually the last Weds, all Striders are welcome to take part in timed heats, split according to pace, of 1600m, 800m and 400m efforts. These are joint with Ilkley Harriers and take place at Carleton Keighley track. If you fancy testing yourself, just turn up to track at 19.15 (we post info on Facebook and WhatsApp.) Cost £2.
Regular training runs – our regular weekly runs are suitable for ALL members:
- Monday nights at Caroline Street, Saltaire at 19.00 – choice of 3 runs
- Wednesday nights at Carleton Keighley running track at 19.15 – interval training suitable for all or tailored to your needs – or if you are following a training plan you can do your own thing. Cost £2.
- Thursday nights at Nuffield Baildon at 19.00 – usually a choice of 4 runs
Club coaches - our club coaches can support Striders with all aspects of running – returning from injury, improving running form, improving performance, training plans and more. Talk to any of us at training nights: Ewan Gibb, Will Kerr, Alistair Nash, Louise Nash - or message us. We can match you up with whoever will best meet your needs.
Marathon training and nutrition event – this event took place in Jan. It was really well attended and we hope you got something out of it! Please spare a couple of minutes to provide some feedback: https://forms.gle/QrEGEgmmo2QFKrqP9
