Saturday Morning 18th March

Hi everyone-something a little different is on offer for this Saturday. Meet at HLC for 8am as usual and we will run/jog/walk/crawl to The George and Dragon pub at Houghton, where lunch will be taken!

This will take us c19 miles across the Downs, down via Bramber to pick up the South Downs Way and then basically following what would be Legs 8, 9 and 10 of the SDWR to the pub!

There may be a smaller group doing a more traditional Saturday Morning but the main group will be heading to Houghton. And there will definitely be a second group rendezvousing on Steyning Bostal for a shorter but equally lovely run to the pub. Feel free to join in along the way!!

Transport back will be in several cars meeting us at the pub, to reserve a place contact Paul or Andy or email: enquiries@henfieldjoggers.co.uk. We would aim to be at the pub around 12:30 to 1pm.

Saturday Morning 11th March 2017

I suggest we do a version of the Convent Run tomorrow morning. The classic route shown is about 12 miles, but there are extensions and shortcuts, as usual. I am also going to make every effort to put my policy of avoiding mud [not water] into practice!

Want to take up running this Spring but need the structure and motivation of others? Then come and join Henfield Joggers next ‘Lets Get Running’ programme on Wednesday 5th April 2017, 7pm at Henfield Leisure Centre.  This is an 8 week walk/run programme building up to a 5k run (without stopping) and is also suitable for those who want to return to running after a gap.

Saturday Morning 14th January

Not one but TWO options for everyone, which is becoming more of a standard feature these days!

8.00 HLC – Hugh – I think several people are running in an event on Sunday, but for those who want a Saturday run, I suggest we run up the Downslink, possibly as far as Copsale, which would be 13 miles of flat running there and back. I did wonder whether we could meet up with PG runners, but apparently they prefer to run south later!

9.15 HLC – Liz – We are planning a run tomorrow following the Henfield 9 route. Meeting at HLC 9.15am or at Downslink – bottom of Station Road – at 9.30am. Let me know if you fancy coming. 🙂

Congratulations go to Joyce Blundell, who is now entered for this years Virgin London Marathon. Keep us up to date with how your preparation is going Joyce and we of course expect a race report in April!

Good luck from all your fellow Henfield Joggers – and ENJOY it!!
