Park Run - Race Director

The Brockwell Park Run urgently need more volunteers to act as Race Directors. At present there is a good core group of volunteers - who are very vauled - but no one really keen enough to take on the role of Race Director. They are also looking for storage space for the equipment so if anyone has any suggestions they are welcomed. Interested in Race Director? contact:  BrockwellHelpers@parkrun.com

Tonight's spin session

Audrey cannot unfortunately make it tonight but we will still have a session on the bikes for 60 - 90 minutes.

Bring a towel, energy drink and maybe something to eat for those staying for 90 mins.


Alternatively, do a set on the bikes and then go for a run either on the treadmill or outside.

Essential training session so see you later

Social - this wednesday!!

Hi everyone

We thought it was about time we all got together outside of our cycling shoes and speedos for a friendly beer!

One of our regular swim session members Rob has suggested the Half Moon Pub (on half Moon Lane in herne Hill) on Wednesday for a rollapalooza event.

It looks a bit of fun and if you're having withdrawal symptoms from missing the normal Wednesday swim session, you can perhaps have a go and challenge another…

The Marvelous Audrey's Spin session

Just a quick note to say thank you to Audrey for stepping into Jonathan's shoes and covering tonight's spin session.



Many of you will know Audrey from the Friday swim sessions at JAGS. Tonight she brought her distinctive brand of enthusiasm, good humour and sadism to the Wednesday bike-run brick session at Brockwell Lido. The result was an epic session which was really great fun.



Catch Audrey's other brick sessions on 17th Nov and 1 December, at Broackwell Lido from… Continue

Brick session 27 October will be uncoached

All,

Just to let you know that tonight's session at Broackwell lido will be uncoached.

Jonathan expects to be back with us in December and we are coming up with an interim solution to cover his absence. However, tonight could not be covered so please find below a session plan for you…
