Free Community Defibrillator Training - 14 Sep

Chris Robson, Sandy Town Clerk, has written about free defibrillator training.   The Club Secretary has put his letter on the forum:

The Community Heartbeat trust will be demonstrating the use of defibrillators and explaining how the equipment works and its benefits to the community in saving precious minutes in the treatment of sudden cardiac arrest.

The more people that know how to use the portable defibrillators installed in our community, the more chance there is of saving the life of a victim of sudden cardiac arrest. Sandy Town Council has arranged for training to take place on Thursday 14 September 2017 at 7.30pm at the Jenkins Pavilion, Sunderland Road, Sandy. And would like to invite you and members of your group to attend. Everybody is welcome and no special skills are required, just your willingness to play an important role in the event of a medical emergency. To book a place on the training course please contact the council office on 01767 681491 or email [email protected] with the names and contact details of those who will be attending. Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

Your performance on the web

We have a page on our website that records and displays individual runners best performances (Runner's PBs)**. At the moment it is largely populated by the older (and very old) members but it is open to all. If you want to have your presence on the world wide web then send Ken Prior your best performances from 5Km to ultra marathon. You can see the format on the existing page. This is YOUR page so there is no verification required, we just ask that it was a race over a reasonably accurate distance, Park Runs are fine. Ken needs a recognisable photo of you and a list of times/distances/ venues/dates. If there are just a couple to add then email the information, if you have lots to add then email for a mini spreadsheet that Ken can auto-upload. You can update these as often as you want, just me an email. Ken is looking forward to adding lots of new members and their performances, email him at

[email protected].

** yes, it should be Runners' PBs, blame your webmaster for that

Sunday Morning Coffee and Cake Runs

See the schedule of runs on the club calendar; you should also check the message board for more details in the week leading up to each run. Route maps are on the web site here or go to "Events" then "Coffee and Cake".

Core Conditioning

Core Conditioning Sessions will run on Monday nights at 8.30pm on the grass at the track. The cost will be £2.50 per session, and you won't need a track pass. The sessions are being run by Simon Desborough who runs Triumph Wellbeing in Potton with a view to continue all year round. These sessions are for over 18s.

Core Conditioning is about strengthening the multiple muscle groups in the centre (core) of the body, including the abdominal and low back muscles, diaphragm, pelvic floor muscles, latissimus dorsi, hip flexors and the gluteal muscles. All these muscles work in concert to stabilize the spine while moving your limbs.

Senior Road Training

The group mainly meet at the front of Sandy Sports Centre on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7pm, but also take part in occasional away days. The away days and specific session themes as currently known are listed here, check the calendar for updates (deselect everything except "Training" on the drop-down Agenda list and look for "Senior Road Running" on Tuesdays and Thursdays).

This month saw the official celebrations as the club marked the anniversary in traditional style (roasting a pig, making cakes and getting tiddly on Brakspears...) Your race reports have been coming in thick and fast, from desert marathons to 10Ks around shopping centres.

    Archive Race Reports 2008

    Archive Race Reports 2008 6th January ~ Ropsley Raid nr Grantham, Lincolnshire, Multi-Terrain. Host Club ~ Ropsley Road Runners. This popular local race is a multi-terrain affair, run over fields, track and roads in and around the small village near Grantham. A slight frost was present as daylight broke, however clear blue skies and a brisk chilling wind added to the New Year feel. Both races were underway at the same 10 o'clock start time, with a good field of runners that would contest the narrow tracks early on before the race settled down. Prior to the race, Race Officials informed competitors that the race distance for the 6 mile race, was now approximately 8 miles, however satellite navigation watches would measure to course at 8.9 miles! Undaunted by the new distance Club members set off facing the challenge. New to our Club Tracie Hough entered the race with little recent off road experience, however produced a strong run finishing in 1hr 25mins, Candy Louth was pleased to finish in 1.32. Next to finish Catherine Simpson 1.38, Pat Riches approximately 15 mins adrift of Catherine in 1.52 with Stephen Betts 1.54. Julie Stapleton accompanied Carolyn Crocker who had not run above 6 miles before today and was delighted to finish this extended race in together in 2.04. In the 13 mile race measured at 13.6 miles Dave Tilley in a purple patch of form stormed home in first place some 5 minutes in front of the 2nd place runner, winning this event for the first time.

    Archive Race Reports 2009

    Archive Race Reports 2009 1st January ~ Cleethorpes 10k Cleethorpes North East Lincolnshire, Road. Host Club ~ Cleethorpes & District Athletic Club My day started early, 8:30am with the 60+ miles drive to Cleethorpes where I was thinking maybe it wasn’t a good idea entering a race on New Years Day. After a bit of a warm up, and it was cold, it was time to line up at the start. Bang went the gun, making me jump and 350+ runners were off. The course started with one small loop round the house estate near the Cricket Club and then two bigger loops where you could see the seas, which brought you to the 5km point. Each of these loops brought you pass the start where they was a reasonable crowd of people, but no one was clapping. A steady incline then to 6km followed by an undulating course from 6km to the finish. As this was an open road event, kept having to swap from road to pavement, some marshalls were good at holding up the traffic, but a couple did nothing. After finishing there was a 15 minute walk back to the start, don’t know why they couldn’t take out a loop and finish nearer the start. Despite these problems, I was really pleased with a new PB of 52:29. This race was definitely not a patch on Southwell 10k, which sadly I missed. Thanks to Alistair Whitaker for his Report. 10th & 11th Jan ~ Disney Half & Full Marathon Florida, USA, Road. We arrived in Orlando to bright warm sunshine a good start to the week.

    Archive Race Reports 2015 18th January ~ Folksworth 15 Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, 15 miles, Road. Host Club ~ Yaxley Runners & Joggers Folksworth is a village on the other side of the A1 to Peterborough and with a 11am start time, there was plenty of time for the sun to melt the frosty patches on the road. The race is a 2 lap race along quiet country roads, with 3 hills on each lap. A couple of icy patches which were nicely highlighted by the marshals, but thankfully no wind! 2 Sleaford Town Runners were amongst the 440 finishers with Ingrid Williams chip time 2:07:54 and Alistair Whitaker getting a new personal best 2:32:21. A short sleeve technical top was given to each finisher. A well organised race, with the only negatives being water in plastic cups and no food at the end. Thanks to Alistair Whitaker for his Report. 7th February ~ The Rauceby Ripper Rauceby, Lincolnshire, 9 miles, Multi-Terrain. Host Club ~ Sleaford Town Runners Rauceby is a small village just outside of Sleaford, Lincolnshire and is divided into North and South Rauceby. The race started at 10.30a.m. which meant that there was plenty of time to get parked and collect race numbers and chips before walking down to the start line. The race provided an opportunity to run through some private estates and enjoy the grounds of Rauceby Hall. The marshals were fantastic offering cheers of support and advice about very muddy sections. The day was fantastic with no wind, milder weather and even some sunshine! This was my first attempt at the Ripper and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole day.
