Hi Folks,

I trust everyone had a fantastic Christmas surrounded by family, friends and good cheer. Training will indeed be taking a little sort of break with so many on holiday but I am sure we will see little groups organising themselves during the next few weeks.
For our track runners we have a BIG meeting on 14th January, so make sure you manage to strike a good balance with life and training. There was also a bit of doubt about the Australia Day fun run taking place at Menai - this has now been confirmed and will go ahead, we have enjoyed great numbers in this run in past years and look forward to kicking of the Fun Run season in style again for 2012!

Training for the week ahead:

Tuesday Oatley Park 6. 00 pm - Reps

Saturday Oatley Park 6. 00 am - Heading out to Lugarno sea foods and back at an easy pace.

See you out there,

Jimmy

Hi Folks,

Yet another week bites the dust! We enjoyed a great turn out at our hosting of the 'coolrunning' twilight series with 23 runners enjoying perfect conditions, and some very positive feedback from our coolrunning visitors - thank you to all who came along in particular Wayne and Steve P who did both the 5 and 10k runs with podium placing.
Nikolay, Greg & Horrie completed the Coast 2 Kosci 240k Ultra with Nikolay taking out a top 10 spot. I don't think we will see any of this trio at reps this Tuesday!
We also had success at the NSW mile championships with Gold, Silver and Bronze medals being picked up by Brandon, Jennelle and Sean respectively - well done! The week ahead will be the last race on the track for many until 14th January, when the NSW 5000m championships will be held.

Training for the week ahead:


Tuesday Oatley Park 6. 30pm - Reps ( Pyramid Session )

Thursday Sylvania Track 5. 00pm - Light session of 200's

Saturday Oatley Park 6. 00am - Marine Drive course ( 7.5 or 10k options )

Sunday Oatley Clock 6. 00 am - Mystery run, up to 90 min.

See you out there,

Coach

Hi Folks,
 
Another date marked off the calendar as we see yet another big month ahead of us! Our Christmas BBQ was well enjoyed by all who attended in far from ideal conditions! A big THANKYOU to Steve and Kim for helping provide the Ray White and St George DAC shelters - they were well used on the day!
Friday this week 9th December we are hosting the 'coolrunning' twilight series at Oatley Park details here  We will have a 5 and 10k option and it would be great to have as many as possible join in.
We continue to have good success in the fun runs and NSW track events with Chadi and Fintan enjoying podium placing in the Balmain 5 & 10k fun runs, Jasmine 1st female in The Ocean Dash 5k and Sean & Jennelle recording PB's in the 800m at Blacktown track.
This weekend we have Nikolay and Greg taking part in the Coast to Kossi race, a 240km journey awaits these endurance warriors with Nikolay in the best shape of his life! We wish them both well and look forward to hearing all about their journey.
