SE Fitness Running & Walking Club

Saturday kicked off our optional longer runs for those preparing for upcoming events 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

We’ve got a real mix of events coming up from the Shenstone 10K to full marathons and it’s great to see the energy building!

Next week’s longer run (Saturday): 8 miles Round the Outside for those prepping for HMs

✨ Don’t worry – our regular runs are still on for anyone who prefers to keep to their usual distance.

🏃‍♀️ HALF MARATHON TRAINING STARTS THIS WEEKEND! 🏃‍♂️

This Saturday we kick off our half marathon training with a 6-mile Streetly Gate out-and-back run! 🎉

With so many of our members taking part in both trail and road events, our training reflects that too. Over the coming weeks, our long runs will include a variety of routes and terrain to help prepare you for whatever challenge you have coming up! 🌳🛣️

From scenic trail runs to road miles, recovery runs and even a 10-mile breakfast run to Lichfield or Birmingham ☕🥓, there is plenty to look forward to!

Don’t worry if you’re not training for a half marathon or don’t fancy the longer distance — our normal runs will still be available as usual. ❤️

✈️ SE also went international again this week! Darren took SE Fitness on tour to Lanzarote and even managed to rope his brother into becoming an honorary SE member! 😂❤️ We love seeing our members taking SE with them wherever they go!

And finally, today is also a little bit emotional as we say goodbye to one of our longest-standing members, Jenny. ❤️

Jenny has been part of SE Fitness for an incredible 20 years and has been a leader for 13 of those years. She has given so much of her time, energy and support to SE Fitness and so many of our members over the years, and she will be very much missed.

Jenny is now off on a brand-new adventure as she moves to Derbyshire! 🏡⛰️ We want to wish her all the very best for the future and lots of happiness in her new home.

Thank you for everything you have done for SE Fitness, Jenny. Once SE, always SE! ❤️

Congratulations to everyone and a huge good luck and farewell to Jenny. What a special Medal Monday! 🏅❤️

What a difference a day makes…..thunder bolt and lightning very very frightening
