Runner of the month January.
Male: – after being injured at the back end of 2022 he has taken his comeback incredibly sensibly, with no relapses.
What it has meant is that he has come back even stronger than before. He has attended training regularly, including being beasted by Aaron in the combined G2.5/3 session. He has spent time supporting and encouraging his own children in their running. But his last xc outing shows how strong he is running as he was right up there with the G3 runners. Phil Nicholls
Female: – This young lady has been getting stuck into training and recently bagged one of her long time racing goals, the Benfleet 15 which she completed in 3:36:16. As well as a regular at cross country events and park runs
She attending both Tuesday and Thursday running sessions, as well as joining Simon on a Wednesday evening.
