Loren is to take part in the Medley Relay Leg (600m).

This is a great achievement for Loren and her coach Adrian Clover, and is a reward for Loren’s consistent displays of outstanding performances in 2011.

Along with a very successful XC season, Loren had a very successful track season, where she ranked 4th for the 300m in the U17W age group (and 9th overall).

Her 800m time was enough to put her 2nd overall in the U17W rankings and 33rd overall which is an incredible achievement.

Team Bath wishes Loren, Adrian and the rest of the England team all the best at the Celtic Cup.

The work would involve delivery on the Network’s Run England targets.

Primarily:

• · Numbers of runners signed up to Run England
• · Numbers of groups registered with Run England
• · Number of new groups and leaders supported and registered

Working hours would be entirely flexible.

Ideally would suit someone:

• · With knowledge of the Avon clubs and race scene
• · Passionate about recreational running and getting new runners into the sport
• · With a LiRF (Leader in Running Fitness qualification) or coaching qualification and experience of leading groups

There is potential for the work to be shared between two or more people. And the work could be shared out based on target areas (eg. Bath area where we have a lot of interest for starting new groups), or based on applicant strengths, eg club & race scene knowledge or getting new runners into the sport.

We are looking for the work to start as soon as possible, therefore please could interested individuals contact Tim Snowdon onTimothy.Snowdon@uwe.ac.uk by Friday 27^th January.

There is a lot of kit in stock at JMS Stitch & Print (particularly team vests), and it would be great if the club can sell as much of it as possible.

It would certainly be easier for club members to purchase kit on training nights. Sale of kit at a reduced price at training nights is aslo a possibility.

There is also a possibility that whoever sells the team kit will stand to earn a commission on anything that is sold.

If you are interested, then please contact a member of the committee, or ask at the desk on a Tuesday or Thursday.

For the moment, team kit is avialable to purchase at JMS Stitch & Print. Club vests, thermal tops, training hoodies, along with training tops and t-shirts are in stock.

For those of you who are interested in competing for the club, then buying a team vest is necessary.

Sports Nutrition Study Flyer

When you train, sweating is non-negotiable, as it helps your body to remove the heat produced during exercise to help manage your body’s temperature. Unfortunately this heat loss occurs at the expense of fluids and electrolytes (salts), which then need to be replaced.

To ensure you perform at your best day in, day out, get your hydration right before, during and after exercise.

To understand how and why drinking is so important, download the first of many nutrition articles by Lucozade Sport Scientist Tom Barnden, on hydration strategies.
