Hi Rutlanders
Its official (as I say so!) – we are an Awesome club. What a fabulous and frenetic weekend was had by many of you. We had the annual run-fest that is Equinox24, the latest Club Championship race at Cransley, the Rutland Marathon and other exciting news.
Before I get into the news however let’s have a very warm welcome first to our latest new member in the form of Zoe Lester. Zoe has been to a few of our club sessions over the past couple of weeks and she is proving to be a very good runner – one to watch.
Grab a drink, fasten your seat-belts and enjoy this week’s news …

Hi Rutlanders
Well we seem to be experiencing an Indian Summer with temperatures this week expected to reach their highest in the month of September for 50 years! It certainly wasn’t like that last Saturday for the brave souls competing during the downpours in the Vitruvian. Fortunately next weekend the weather should be more typical for Autumn which hopefully should suit those of us taking part at Equinox24 and the club championship race at Cransley. Enjoy the warm sun while it lasts 🙂

Hi Rutlanders
Autumn definitely feels just around the corner and the nights are definitely drawing in. Along with this time of year we start looking to the end of the triathlon season and other Summer based events. However Autumn is also one of the best seasons for running with cooler temperatures and the glorious colours of the leaves providing picturesque backdrops. So get out there and make the most of this lovely season 🙂

Hi Rutlanders
First off, a warm welcome to our latest new member, Imogen Walker. Imogen has been coming to a few Tuesday night sessions and has proved to be a very good young runner. Look forward to seeing you at more club sessions and hopefully reporting on some fine race results in the future 🙂
As the title of this edition states, WELL DONE all of you. What a fantastic turnout at parkruns during the month in order to score Club Championship points. We also have news on Cheryl Rogerson’s French Odyssey 🙂

Hi Rutlanders
The Olympics may have started but seems a number of you guys were busy with your own inspirational challenges. We had the club mini-tri, Chris Jones running a marathon in Gloucester, Nigel Broadbent doing an Iron-run, Bryan Clary taking on another bonkers challenge plus the first of this month’s Club Championship updates 🙂

Hi Rutlanders
First off a very warm welcome to another bunch of new members (Fantastic news) in the form of Joanne Shore, Sarah Reeves, Sam Jeffries and Gary Kirk. I know Sam and Gary from the last set of Beginners sessions so it’s great that you have decided to join the club. Also want to congratulate both on getting parkrun PBs at last Saturdays parkrun at Rutland Water (aren’t you glad you finally got those new running shoes I recommended Gary!). I’m sure you will all have a great time with the club and look forward to seeing you out and about at the club sessions.
I’m not aware of any club mates in action this past week but there are some interesting club activities in the next 7 days for you to get involved with. The Olympics may be starting but the club also has it’s own special event with our club social mini-tri this coming weekend 🙂

Hi Rutlanders
First off a very warm welcome to Ellie Lovett and Chris Foley who have both recently joined the club.
Last weekend’s Anniversary Games in London provided a great final athletics spectacle before the Rio Olympics. There were some brilliant performances not least from young Laura Muir who broke Kelly Holmes’ 1500m record with a stunning 3:57.49. Mo Farah also looked on top of his game with the fastest 5,000m of 2016 with a time of 12:59.29. Coupled with the other great performances, August is looking great for some inspirational sport … and let’s not forget Chris Froome’s amazing third Tour de France win!!!
The club has had its share of superstars in action last weekend too 🙂
