Through the year
Socials and catch ups
Social runs that finish with coffee and pastries, summer track open nights, and catch ups. The running club bit that isn't a session.
A few times a year
Training camps
A few days away training together. So far that means Cyprus sun and the red dirt tracks of Kenya.
Next series being planned

Cyprus
Sun, sea views and a proper track
The whole squad away together: sessions on the track, easy miles by the coast and, of course, a group photo or three.
Kenya
Running where the fast ones train
Early starts on the red dirt tracks around Eldoret, running alongside local athletes, then a team photo under the pavilion.

Chatty pace through Battersea and over the river, finishing with coffee and cinnamon buns at GAIL's.

A summer evening on the track
Laps, cheering and a big group photo, with Lucky Saint and SiS waiting at the end for everyone who ran.
