Som brilliant running from the club over the last 2 weeks 👏🏼 😦

Starting strong with the half marathon efforts! We had several runners completing the Big Half, the Di**le Half, Richmond Run Fest, and the Great North Run! There were some amazingly paced runs and several PBs. Excellent running from all 🎉

Meet the Strider! 👟

This week we're shining the spotlight on Jenny, who as well as being a familiar face on club runs, is also one of our welfare reps on the committee, always looking out for our members. 💙

🔹 How long have you been a Strider?
18 months.

🔹 What got you into running?
I'd dipped in and out of running over the years but never managed to stay consistent, so I wanted to try running with other people and go to sessions. I run to keep fit, and because it's good for my mental health.

🔹 Favourite thing about the club?
The social side and the friendly members. The club is really inclusive and welcoming, and it's been great to make lots of new friends. I especially enjoy going to races as a group.

🔹 Best running memory or achievement?
Too many to list, but I was really pleased to take part in the whole cross country series for the club. The Green Belt Relay was a fantastic experience, and I recently beat my 10k PB, which I couldn't have done without the encouragement of Sutton Striders.

🔹 Go-to post-run snack?
I love going for a coffee and a treat after a run, ideally a cinnamon bun!

🔹 Advice for someone thinking of joining?
It's fantastic value for money and you won't regret it!

Thanks Jenny! 💙💛 And a reminder that Jenny's one of the friendly faces you can reach out to as a welfare rep if you ever need a chat.

This week's Strider needs no introduction to anyone who's ever finished a session and found doughnuts waiting... say hello to our resident Doughnut Dasher, Dean! 🍩

🔹 How long have you been a Strider?
Hi, I'm Dean Stenning and I've been with the Striders for nearly three years now.

🔹 What got you into running?
I'd love to say it was to get fit and meet people, but honestly, it started with a petrol strike... it's a long story 🙈🤣

🔹 Favourite thing about the club?
Can I say the pub after a run? 😉 But seriously, it's the people and the structure. There's always something going on, whether it's a social run or a proper intense interval session.

🔹 Best running memory or achievement?
Honestly, every session and race adds another memory. But running the London Marathon has to be the big one, something I never thought I'd achieve. Goes to show what you can do when you put your mind to it.

🔹 Go-to post-run snack?
I know I'll get shot down for this one, but it has to be a full English breakfast.

🔹 Advice for someone thinking of joining?
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned runner, Sutton Striders will help you hit your goals, and more importantly, make some great friends along the way.

Thanks Dean! 💙💛 And yes, we all know why we're really glad you joined 🍩 Know a Strider we should feature next? Drop a name in the comments.

Well done to: Steven, Fiona, Joanne, Charlotte, Alice, Kevan, Debbie, Dean, Bryn, Jenny, Natalie, Ruth, Gwenaël, Mickey, Thomas, Paul, Steve, Stephen, Mark and Ben.
