With cristmas over how many of you are thinking about joining a gym to lose them extra pounds or to get fit only to find out every one has got the same idea and you cant get on a peice of equipment :hihi:
the Sheffield half is on the 26th april so with plenty of time to train what a better way to keep fit/lose them extra pounds and it will not cost you the earth
Any runners and non runners who would like to train for this event but dont know were to start the www.sheffieldrunningclub.co.uk may be the answer for you as they are starting there half marathon training ( and some are even training for london )
so if this sounds like you come down drop a post or just turn up on our sunday runs that go from diferent areas each week

What about the sessions omn Tuesday and Thursday Steve

Doesnt the 09 Sheffield marathon clash with the London marathon ?

Rare of organisers of big races not to avoid conflict

Hoping to do this again. New challenge for my first half at age 70 !

Respect to you hope I am still up to it at 70!

this weeks sunday run will go from the pervilion in graves park 10am start or as nick says there is a run from don vally stadium every tuesday and thursday with now a group for biginers on tuesday ther isnt a better time to start

hope every one is training well the run for this week is from rother vally country park at 10am see sunday training runs post for more details

6 new people came down for training at Sheffield running Club this week . Groups for 10K, half marathon and full marathon ideal time to start group training,tuesday 6pm at Don Valley Indoor straight.

this week we had 18 runners in the slower group and i recon about 40 to 45 runners in tottal training around the streats with suport like this why go it aloan on the long cold dark nights
the sunday run will go from the comunity centre in grenoside at 10am two groups planed but that depends nice long run so come along if you wish oh and drinks after in the old harrow

I did the London Marathon last year in a time of 4:23:11

It was a great day out. I trained for 5 months, three times a week.
Ever since i finished it though i have done nothing but pile on the pounds, so training for a sheff half marathon might be a good idea, before i get too fat.

:)

Well done on your marathon sucsess great time
as you will know training for an event like the marathon and half marathon takes time and dedication and makes all the diferance between haveing a good run or hating every step and injury there is only 13 more weeks to train for the sheffield half and london marathon :help: so no time like the present to dust of them trainers

Great training session tonight over 50 runners in six different groups ideal preparation for london Marathon , Shefield Half and Great Yorkshire Run.

Im glad the London and Sheffield are on the same day, I've got an excuse not to do the London.

Im up for training runs anything up to 6 miles near to Meadowhall or the Stadium near the English Institute of Sport on Attercliffe.

I might be interested in this. I used to run ages ago, but lost my way and started slacking and now I have porked out. Anyhow, not sure if I will be able to get fit in time for April, but will give it a good go :)

Hi Kipper we train every week from the donvally stadium on tuesday nights at 6pm if you cant make this we somtimes go from donvally on sunday

Damn damn damn:mad:

Missed the deadline, been busy recouperating from a minor operation and had set this as my target.

If anyone drops out please let me know. :thumbsup:

.

On a similar note, can anyone reccomend any races? I didn't fancy the half marathon because I don't like the route. Are there any races with 'pretty' routes and no loops?!
I know I'm fussy, I love running in the peaks but haven't got a clue which race to enter?

Hi ive just read that the Sheffield Half Marathon is full iam ok ive been registered for some time but my running partner has left it to late and is desperate to run it if anyone is not doing it now can you let us know.

Many Thanks

Paul
