Well, its wet and windy at the moment. Please take care when you are out running! Worth Checking your local parkrun FB in case there’s damage affecting the run.
It was nice seeing so many [33] at the meet-greet-listen evening on Tuesday night after training. It would have been nice to have seen a few more of our newer members Perhaps next time?

Monday Night Track Training – update from Nick
Hi Everyone,
I have finally heard from the Duty Manager at Macclesfield about track hire.
Monday night is the best option…I have a list of those that have already expressed interest, but this is not exhaustive. So let me know if you are interested.
What might work is trialling and then seeing if there was an appetite to hold once every four/six weeks and to act as a measure of performance/fitness?
We will then have to decide if the specific Monday is to replace the Tuesday in the week in question or in addition.
There is a cost for hire of the track/facilities etc. We will need to decide if the Club is to cover that or the individual?
For now, can I suggest that I pick a Monday…publicise, and we take it from there?
