Alternative Tuesday night sessions
For the next few weeks there won’t be an alternative session because Alan will be back at the track for the summer and there are so many people in the senior group that it makes sense for two of us to coach that together. But, as a new coach, I want to suck it and see for a bit. If it makes sense to run a separate grass session as well, I’ll do that. Just don’t know quite how it’ll all work out.So the message for your blog next weekend is:
“For the next few weeks there won’t be an alternative session on Tuesday nights because Alan will be back at the track for the summer. But different sessions/workshops may well be in the pipeline so watch this space!”

Wednesday Night Run's... are now back
It will be up in the Gallery at River Park meeting at 7.00pm for a 7.10 pm start .
There will be somebody to give support for new runners.
Thursday will still be a training night; thus giving runners the option to do either/both.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alan's Thursday night threshold session's - Please speak to Alan for further details of this weeks session.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jo Jefferies (
joejeff33@aol.com) has advised that the Whiteshute Ridge sessions aren't happening during the summer, but are likely to be re-introduced during the winter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
John O'Shea will continue to bring a group to Winchester and if anyone wishes to speak to John about training matters please do not hesitate to contact him on
john_o_shea@hotmail.com
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Junior Session details for June awaited and will be updated to the "DK Blog" as soon as received
If possible you should try and attend on both Tuesday and Thursday, Tuesdays are speed base on the track and Thursday's have a more speed endurance base and will always be on grass.
Please note this is a general training schedule and sessions will always be adjusted to suit the group you are in.
If you have any questions feel free to call me or come and have a chat on a Tuesday evening.
best wishes
David
Seniors looking for a bit of a speed session are always welcome to join in with the Juniors, don't hesitate to talk to David.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A FULL 400M GRASS CIRCUIT with 100m markers will be laid Thursday weekly. I have linked in with the Juniors and the circuit will be laid on the botom part of the field at the track. I for one will be using a Thursday grass session and if you want to join me, please get in touch during the week to check out the session planned. - dk

OTHER BITS :
Important Message for everyone from George McCallum, Club Chairman dated 16th April 2010
Can you send out a reminder that everyone who competes should be a fully paid up member.
This year we can see exactly who has paid....database is always up to date
Thanks for support on this
George
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Could you kindly circulate the following request to all and sundry, thanks.
***********************************************************************************
Email message from Marius Kwint dated 11th May 2010
A visually impaired triathlete friend of mine, Chris Goodwin, is aiming for the
10K at the 2012 Paralympics and is hoping to join WADAC because he works in
Winchester and needs to improve his speed-work. He won gold in the European
Paratriathlon Championships in 2009 and was awarded Male Paratriathlete of the
Year by the British Triathlon Federation in the same year.
You may have had a request before for guiding assistance. At present he runs
about 37 minutes for 10k, but ideally needs to achieve about 33 minutes. It's
a tough target, but I believe he has the ability. He would like to attend the
Tuesday track sessions if possible to pick up some of the club buzz and
information, as well as join in the session. He has some peripheral vision and
can just about make out the track lip, but would need to be guided with
hand-held cord.
If any of you would be able to rotate some guiding work, meaning perhaps a
sub-optimal session occasionally, then please let Chris or me know. It's a
rewarding task. Also, feel free to pass this on. My mobile is 07754595968;
Chris' email is <
ckgoodwin85@googlemail.com>.
Thanks and best wishes
Marius
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eastleigh Park Run
Every Saturday at 9am there is a NEW Park Run venue at Lakeside Country Park, Eastleigh. This is a free event, you just need to register on the Park Run website (once) and print of your individual bar code, which you must take to the run. Great course, 2 laps of undulating mixed terrain, good training at whatever pace you want to run. Also for the triathletes out there, between 6 - 8:45 there is open water swimming at the same venue.

Simon Stevens will be doing a hill session at Farley Mount on Tuesday evenings until his mountain leg at the Welsh Castles Relay on 12 and 13 June. He will be at the car park at the junction of Sarum Road and Farley Mount Road at 6.45pm. Others are welcome to join him.
Thanks

WADAC SociaI Run
I am sending out this email in the hope that we can encourage our many road runners to return to our social runs. We now have a Wednesday eve. , (in the Gallery at River Park Sport Centre meeting at 7.00pm for a 7.10 pm start) and Thusrday eve. (6.45 pm at the track)
At present there are just a handful of regulars at both evenings.It would be so good to get together the many runners that the club has .
A difficulty of having such small numbers is when we have guests joining us it is quite difficult on occasions to pair them with someone of simillar ability.
If you want to find out more please reply to this email which will come to me
Happy running
Alan Coveney
