The full programme of championship races and dates will published as soon as race dates have been confirmed.
Below there is a link to the guideline sessions for Jan – Apr, building on the sessions and strength gained so far this winter thro’ Jan and Feb and then getting faster with less bulk throughout March.
They go in 4-weekly cycles as before but you’ll see that there are “measurement” sessions at 400m, 800m and 1500m built in to help gauge progress and to help plan for track events. As ever they are adaptable to age groups and individuals.
We need to decide what track events to aim for and I’ll be setting some dates for Open TracK challenges very soon. We also have to start building in the fell programme from April.

A rainy day in Oxenhope is the best way to sum up the weather for the annual Beefys Nab race.
However, the awful weather did not deter the youngsters. The U8s and U10s set off together with the U8s turning back halfway along the reservoir wall and the U10s continuing to the end before returning.
The U8s pace was set by KCACs Eric Beaumont who completed the course in 2 min 35 seconds, Bingleys Joseph Carnelly followed closely with a time of 2 mins 41seconds & team mate William Moorhouse took 3rd with a time of 2 minutes 55 seconds. A storming performance by KCACs Sophie Gallagher gave her 1st girl with a time of 3 minutes 12 seconds, team mate Rebecca Kerman took 2nd in 3 minutes 25 seconds and her younger sister Alicia Kerman took 3rd with a respectable time of 4 minutes 20 seconds.
A superb run by KCACs Jack Beaumont earned him 1st place in the U10s race in a time of 5 minutes 20 seconds with Bingleys Lucy Shutt in 2nd with a time of 5 minutes 40 seconds and KCACs Natasha Kerman taking 3rd in a time of 7 minutes.
All the youngsters who took part looked like they enjoyed the run despite the conditions.
