Blackpool Running Track Sprint Session, Stanley Park

Dear All,

Keep seeing notifications that the page is still receiving views.

There's no plans to bring the sessions back - thanks for all the positive feedback it meant a lot that people benefited from them

Don't really go in this page anymore. Doing the drills with Mick on Cottam Hall through summer to help him get ready for his GB Triathlon in Spain in October.

This is on this Friday - be great to see some of you who enjoyed our sessions again

Pre-Register Here! – Wyre Moving More in Partnership with Ron's Run – Marine Hall We are delighted to have you join us for the Wyre Moving More 2k family fun run in Partnership with Ron's Run. This charity fun...

Dear All,

Just passed over all your food donations to Blackpool Food Bank - they have asked me to pass on their Thanks.

Because you ran - people ate

Just a note to thank everyone who has joined in the Track Sessions over the past 12 weeks, think they have been really useful and we have a good set of drills really for Master's distance athletes which perhaps suits us better with our range of motion to what some of the young sprinters we see doing drills which are a bit more advanced.

Big thanks to Derek for his help and all the food.

Emma is still running a session on Wednesday so still something on but PAYG track passes from the Sports Centre.

I have a meeting tomorrow just sorting some logistics for Karen's Run and Ron's Run, what Emma has suggested is that maybe we continue this drills session but on a once a month basis - is that something people would be interested in ?

I'll probably do the drills on Cottam Hall over summer but would be a bit ad-hoc.

Really really enjoyed watching people's run technique improvements and the stories of happy results in races and events

Kind regards Luke

Congratulations to everyone who has been running Marathons over the past week or so :

Manchester, London, 3 Peaks recce, not sure if anyone did Blackpool.

Just a reminder that this Wednesday is the last session of our block so please remember some food for Blackpool Food Bank.

I've really enjoyed taking the sessions and enjoyed watching the progress of people's running. It's obvious that everyone's running has improved so no need to do any time trials.

We'll finish with a session of drills 5x (4 x 20 20) 2 minutes rest.

I'm not sure Emma's session yet but I think Emma will continue to be running a session on Wednesday evenings but you'll need either a track pass, sports centre membership or day track pass.

Thanks very much and see people on Wednesday

Huge Thank You to Mitch and Emma, and Mick and Carmel for the food bank donations 🤞🙏

Great running by everyone Tonight I actually love to watch people run properly, especially when it's an improvement for them too 👍👏
