Hedge End Running Club – Return to Running - Further Monday Sessions & Tuesday Test Session2/9/2020 Hedge End Running Club – Return to Running
Thank you to everyone that planned, organised and attended the test session on the J track at Wyvern School on Monday 24th August. On a track setting and therefore similar to the Ageas, the session was a test of all our plans, and feedback was very positive. Accordingly we are now able to release details of further sessions as we continue our slow return to normality (or as near as possible as the situation allows!) Mish Mash at Wyvern School on the J Track with Steven Wood & Joanne Johnson Mondays 7th, 14th, 21st & 28th September – 18:45 hours – These sessions are limited to 24 members Monday Maidens with Paul Marchant - Please note new time of 19:00 hrs Monday 7th September – 19:00 hours This session is a test session to demonstrate that we can safely run on roads again – This session is strictly limited to 9 members. Should this session be successful, then further sessions are planned every Monday going forward from Monday 14th September. We will release details on this next week. Tuesday Intervals at Wyvern School on the J Track with Alan Cowan and team Tuesday 8th September – 19:00 hours This session is a test session to demonstrate that we can safely run intervals again – This session is strictly limited to 30 members. Should this session be successful then further Tuesday sessions will be planned, and pending a proposed return to The Ageas next month. All sessions are strictly by pre-registration only via https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/hedge-end-running-club-30914518347 . Registration is open for all three of next week's sessions from 18:00 today and going forward will be at 18:00 each Wednesday. The club is also developing its plans - with the return of Monday Maidens as a start of this - for the return to Thursday night paced/group runs, with the intention that they can resume by the end of this month. Details of these will be announced once we are ready to do so. Please do not attend any session without having pre-registered as you will not be allowed to join them. We acknowledge that this formality may be unhelpful to those unable to plan that far in advance, but for as long as details of all those attending sessions is required then a booking and registration scheme will be in place. In doing so, HERC is adhering to EA guidelines in this area. We look forward to seeing you at some of these sessions! On behalf of the committee and Running Steering Group Richard Allen Message from the club chairman Richard Allen:
Further to the announcement made on Thursday 6th August we are pleased to announce that a working group formed jointly of Committee members, the Running Steering Group and run leaders has been looking at how we can safely run together again. I am delighted to announce that we will be running one ‘Monday Mish Mash’ test session on Monday 24th August from 645 PM to 730PM at Wyvern School on the J track in order to gauge demand from the membership and to trial and test our plans of how we will provide compliant covid-secure training going forward. Should this session be successful (and the group will hold a wash up review very shortly after the session) then we plan to slowly roll out more test sessions, with a longer term aim of providing something like the regular sessions, when we make our anticipated return to The Ageas in October. To register for this session (which is limited to 24 members) please follow this link https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/hedge-end-running-club-30914518347 from 6pm on Wednesday 19th August. The registration process will collect information that is required should someone subsequently become Ill and we need to implement track and trace. Separately, Will Anthes will send a communication later this week asking all members to confirm that the contact details we hold are correct. You will understand that we must re-start training in ways that both meet Government guidelines and also make all members feel safe in how we are doing so. However we see this is a really positive step and would ask all those planning to register and come along to understand these new ways of working, whilst still enjoying this much-welcomed opportunity. Please take note of our "HERC COVID-19 FRAMEWORK" – This will form the basis of next weeks and any future sessions http://www.hedgeendrunningclub.com/news/draft-herc-covid-19-framework Prior to Training

January's Member of the Month award is presented to Keirran Lakeland.
Completely by his own initiative, he started running Saturday morning speed sessions, with an individual focus and tailored sessions and goals for each runner. These sessions have been really well received by the members, thanks in a large part to Keirran's support and coaching input. February's Member of the Month award is presented to Paul Marchant. Paul has produced many PBs since joining the club and is a very popular member thanks to his continuous positive and supportive approach with everyone. He stepped up to help out and regularly led the Monday Maidens when the previous group leader was unavailable, without which the group may have fallen by the way side, and as a result the group not only still supported but is going from strength to strength. Thank you Kierran and Paul for all you have done in leading sessions and supporting our members. Following the Stubbington 10k, 6 of this season's 12 HRRL races are now complete.

Remember all Hedgies welcome at all races! Cheers, Mike Bridgeman & Tracy Puttock. Many congratulations to the 38 Hedgies who completed the Ryde 10 HRRL race this morning. Happy to be corrected but that has to be a record HERC turnout for our annual 'overseas' trip.
And many thanks to the numerous supporters who made the trip too - always helps lift the spirits, particularly on tough courses like Ryde. Conditions were good once again, albeit a little gusty in places. Here are the provisional results: http://www.rydeharriers.co.uk/re…/ryde_10miles_results_2020/ Not known as a PB race, but do let us know if you got one! I'm certainly aware of some excellent course PBs. And many thanks to Tracy for organising all the travel arrangements once again, made it so easy for the rest of us. September’s Member of the Month award is presented to Alan Cowan.
Alan has been an active member of the club for many years, regularly representing the club in HRRL, Lakeside 5k, CC6 and RR10 races. However, more recently Alan has contributed a great deal of his time to leading sessions on Tuesday and Thursday evening, including regularly standing stepping up on days when there have been a shortage of run leaders. He then decided to go one step further, and in September completed his Coach in Run Fitness qualification, and can be seen applying all his newly acquired knowledge and skills at the Tuesday Intervals Ageas Sessions. If that wasn’t enough, he also volunteered to become a member of the Running Steering Group Leadership Team, giving up even more free time to further the development of the club. Many thanks Alan for all of the time and energy to have dedicated to the club over the years. |
