Chepstow Harriers Running Club

Club Training and Club Runs
Our regular training nights are Tuesday and Thursday, starting at 7pm at Chepstow Leisure Centre. - Meet in the Bar/Lounge in the Winter, and on the Sports Field in the Summer, at 6.50. We need to make any announcements and organise the groups ready for a prompt start at 7:00 Prospective members - We welcome new members. Please contact our club coach, Dick Finch (Chepstow 627569 or dickfinch at talktalk.net ) 2008/9 Autumn/Winter Focus - our monthly training schedules will aim to improve our performance in the Cross Country Leagues as well as key races, especially the monthly Club Championship races. Most Tuesdays and Thursdays are dedicated to training for these targets, as well as the weekend sessions in Piercefield Park. Wots On and the Website will keep you updated. Thursday Club Runs – Our traditional long run is always available year-round. Maps of the evening’s route are posted up and available for taking with you. Every runner should familiarise themselves with the route. We don’t have leaders – just buddy up with a group of similar speed to yourself. We aim to have a sweeper at the very back to keep the slower runners safe and sound. Volunteers for the sweeper role are especially valued by the Club and receive special privileges! Coaching Team - We have a growing number of club coaches, with more development courses planned. These coaches were those who volunteered their time in leading running groups and wanted to extend this on a more formal basis. Anyone interested in following their footsteps please contact Dick Finch or any one on the committee. Amongst their responsibilities are planning the training sessions and helping get things going on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please volunteer to help these volunteer coaches whenever you can. We currently have one level 3 coach, five at level 2 and six at level 1.
