Mote Runners

Last night our runners did a meet & retreat session in Mote park. Good running by everyone involved, another warm evening! The session involves running to a point, once reached looping back to the back person. Repeat til all runners are at the marker. Then run to the next marker and repeat.

The weather looks set to be another great morning

We have Mote Runners with us for a take over

There will be pacers a plenty

All we need now is YOU and we will be set for a great morning for parkrun

And as always if you have a milestone to celebrate then let us know in the comments below

Hands up if you love volunteering? 🙌 This week we are delighted to be welcoming Mote Runners who are hosting a volunteer takeover, they will be your marshals, your timers, your barcode scanners, Run Director and all other roles in-between. We can’t wait to see them cheering you on.

Don’t forget we’ll hit our 50000 finisher in position 96…will it be you? You’ll have some pacers to chase if you’re looking for a time or to hit that early position.

All our volunteers make parkrun happen. Summer isn’t easy to fill the roster so if you can help out one week then please get in touch!

Club Handicap 5k race, great turnout in the heat and it being the summer holidays. Well done to Kev for being the first person back👏🏻🎉

Today at the track we did intervals and interballs (Bouncing a tennis ball while running is an active recovery or easy-run trick used by endurance athletes to keep their heart rate low, enforce a slow and honest pace) we did 200m/100m/400m intervals then used the ball in recovery. It was good during the heat to try something else.

Well done to our parkrunners yesterday, good to see so many out (need to see those 🤳🏻📷)
Well done to Nikki & Adrian at Shorne Woods parkrun
Paul at Doddington Hall parkrun &

Our runners last went down to mote park for some intervals. They did 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1 min reps with rest in-between, it was still a very warm evening 🥵 so with that in mind it was run out fast & return slower to the start point. Well done to everyone 👏🏻

Well done to our runners last night in hot conditions. Here's our 7 & 10k crew looking very happy with themselves after a run. Want to join us and smile like us 😁 come along to one our Tuesday 5, 7 or 10k runs.

Sunday track day. Today we tried the Mona Fartlek workout, 2 × 90 sec hard / 90 sec float, 4 × 60 sec hard / 60 sec float, 4 x 30 sec hard / 30 sec float & 4 x 15 sec hard / 15 sec float. 20 min run with no stops, mixing up the paces. Everyone ran really well 😁
