Tomorrow will be better.

45 socially distanced junior endurance runners last night, ready and waiting. A group of smiling and enthusiastic seniors on Wednesday evening. Above and below. No pain, no gain. Tomorrow will be a better day. The words of Captain Tom and maybe, just maybe, tomorrow is finally, gradually arriving. This week saw the resumption of group training, with sessions at the track for both juniors and masters and at the club for seniors. I was fortunate to be at the track yesterday evening with 45 of the younger group of our junior endurance athletes. This session was followed by the older group, while on the track there was a large group of junior T&F athletes and a sprinkling of Vets. All in all there must have been close to 100 athletes supported by a group of dedicated volunteer coaches. There are several T&F events scheduled for The Pingles and Cheltenham to look forward to and looking at the entry lists it looks like we will be well represented by both young and not so young members. Isn't it great to be back ? Elsewhere in the newsletter there is a plea from me for articles on any forthcoming events you may be competing in and a note of what will be happening on the triathlon front. There's also a notification of our Vets T&F fixtures. Have a great Easter and take care. Best wishes. David Jones. Seb Hillard and Flynn Dathan. Apparently Seb is feeling the worse for wear this morning after 3 full on sessions of T&F, rugby and endurance training this week. Flynn was suffering from a surfeit of bananas but still looking good! View this email in your browser The Stratford Herald have been hugely supportive of the club over the years.

They have asked me if, with events starting to happen again, they can expect any reports from us. So if you are competing in the future, please please please let me have a report, not only for the newsletter but also so that anything suitable can be passed on to both The Herald and the Stratford Observer. You can send them either to me or to our Press Officer, Christine Cooper at sacpressreport@gmail.com If you could send them soon after the event so that they are fairly current, that would be wonderful. Many thanks. The vets T&F team from a couple of years ago at Redditch. Somehow it seems longer. Vets T&F fixtures. I've had a few members ask me for the dates of vets T&F fixtures. As things stand they are as follows. 5th May - This fixture is looking unlikely due to a lack of venue. 9th June - Redditch. July 7th - Our home fixture, to be held at the Stratford School Track. This is subject to final…
