1/10/09 The last meeting at Bristol South Pool

jak@webescape.com — Fri, 2 Oct 2009 09:45:21 GMT

A quick note to say we had approx 20 runners out last nigt splitting into three groups.It was another warm evening for the time of year. My group headed to Ashton Court for probably the last time this year on a weekday evening.Approx 8 runners headed across the suspension bridge and down Constitution Hill. Approx 6.5-7 miles

Sorry to those I lost.

This is the start of winter running.

Thanks to Bristol South Pool for providing our first "home".

Great route round Ashton Court. We have probably only 6 weeks max of light evenings so this is your last chance to see Ashton Court and Leigh Woods this "summer"

For those who have not run with us over the Winter get ready for routes around Cotham, Redland, Montpelier, Stokes Croft , St Pauls and St Phillips to name a few

Ace evening for a run. 15-20 or so turned up, 2 groups - one going around the Harbourside, one to Ashton Court.

Was pretty cool running right past the deer going up the hill - a couple of photos here:

Over twenty turned up. May be a record for Thursday. Two groups headed out into a fairly warm summer evening.

Sam led a great route through Ashton Court (approx 6 miles) with a few hills chucked in (met club mascot Harry on route) and Dave led a group promising sprinting sessions.

Any ideas or requests (fartleks, Hills, sprints, track running, beginners groups ??)

Good to see Thursdays are getting popular as well as the staple Tuesday runs :)

Dave led the slower group - 5 of us did a Harbourside loop, just over 4 miles from the pool and back.

Weather great and visibilty stunning. A group of 10ish heading to Ashton Court. The group split at Clifton Lodge.

5 of us heading round Ashton Court only to bump in to the second group who were assisting with a mountain bike crash . Well done to everyone particularly Zoe and Sam.

For anyone planning to do the Bristol Half marathon thursdays are great for increasing the weekly mileage .

That was a great run on Thursday - "running" up Brandon Steep at a snails pace and watching Harry the dog dart around, running rings around us... I may join him in the pond next time to cool off...

Rob — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 17:03:20 GMT

Thursdays saw three overseas runners (two French and one from Belgium) , a runner from a running club in Peterboro and Harry the dog.

Approx 15 runners divided into three groups.The groups ventured to Hartcliife for some repeats and Brandon Hill/Harbourside for a scenic tour of the Harbour.Routes were between 4-6 miles.Conditions dry and clear.

The Brandon Hill route again included the very tough uphill via Brandon Steep

Well done to Sam for the website development which is has helped us attract overseas runners!!.

We still need more thursday runners to make the night work.
