Eynsham Road Runners Update – Summer running! It’s happening so fast, and it’s happening ultra!
As a club we’ve enjoyed our first four weeks summer running! It’s been fabulous to get back together!
What’s more it’s wonderful to welcome some new members to our club, a well as several others who are trying us out.
Welcome to Cate, Helen, Joanne, Megan and Xavier – our 171st member of 2021!
Each Wednesday 50 plus runners and walkers have joined in groups of up to 6, in lead pacing groups – from a walking group to 7 minutes per mile pace. The distance varies from 4 – 7 miles with the faster paced groups running the longer distance.
Thank you to all of the group leaders for hosting each run through-ought the beautiful countryside, by trail, along river and through woods – and for bringing everyone home too!
Tuesday’s speed training is going from strength to strength too!

Some ‘big-running’ has happened during the weeks of April 19th and April 26th – Al, Ant and Stèphane, supported by other club members, ran the entire Wytchwood Way – that’s 38 miles of beautiful countryside. Amazing and inspiring stuff!
The results are in for our first Virtual Motivation race – with 40 runners – ERR achieved second place!
The results are now on the website here: http://www.eynshamroadrunners.org.uk/news/virtual-motavation-1-results/

To come down from this running high, Monday Night Pilates – live at 1830 or at your convenience with the recording – is just the ticket – More info here. http://www.eynshamroadrunners.org.uk/pilates/ Pilates really does regenerate the legs as well as giving some chill-out time.
