I've just put a note on the Fell forum re this years club champs. I've selected relatively local races which hopefully will encourage a few road and track runners "to have a go". If you are interested but unsure let me know and I'll try and help. Some fell runners do the odd road race and track sessions I tend to be involved in other activities on tues/thurs (Bridge/Badmington) so can't get down to the track. I'd ask those that do Fell run and go to the track to chat about what's involved and encourage people to have a go.
On a separate note. I'm conscious that we don't really cater for younger Fell runners (I'm thinking mid teens to mid 20's) certainly not over the winter months. Our wed night sessions are not suitable except maybe for the Hill reps once or twice a month that we have started to do (good to see some road runners pushing us on these!). Tues/Thurs track sessions are good for fitness/speed. The summer wed night sessions would be suitable for younger runners. If there were sufficient interest then we could organise some specific taster/coaching sessions on say a saturday am. Again we have some skilled orienteers whom I'm sure could develop the training.
I'd like some feedback/advice on this so we could take it forward.
cheers Barry
