I wish there were more training groups competing
In the 800m, all the women runners were members of our training group. Quite often people contact me looking for a training group to join, many of them women. I wish there were many other training groups like ours, because the times we meet don't suit everyone. Also, when it comes to inviting feedback on proposed competition programs, my thoughts on 800m races should be given more weight, because so many of the 800m runners are training with me. Rather than the opposite, less weight, if I am seen to be the only one expressing a particular opinion. Also, it would be fun having sets of runners from rival training groups to compete against.
Next week's Track and Field is a Come-And-Try_it meet. Here's a chance to get some new people involved. (a) Bring your friends. (b) Be prepared to try a couple of new events yourself. (c) Come prepared to assist any newcomers.
Training at Stromlo
When we meet at 9am tomorrow (Saturday) at Stromlo, we may have to park just inside the entrance and jog down. There is yet another major cycling event happening, with tents everywhere. I will try and arrive at the start line on time, but I may have to arrive in the car park several minutes early in order to get down there through the crowds.
Go Janene Go in the Melbourne Marathon.
