Welcome to the first edition of hopefully-not-very-many of our weekly newsletter. We will publish this until life returns to normal. It will replace our regular newsletter. Our goal is to keep you informed of what’s been going on in the club and give you a few run ideas if you don’t have access to Facebook.
As things stand we are allowed to exercise outdoors once per day, either alone or with a member of the same household. Please adhere to official guidelines in all your activities.
Welfare
Don’t forget that we are here if you need somebody to talk to. Consider signing up for Facebook or Strava (if only temporarily) to access club pages, talk to other members and take part in online activities. You can contact us at welfare@waverleyharriers.co.uk if you are struggling at any time.
Session Ideas
Below are last week’s virtual sessions for you to try. If you would like to share pictures or videos of yourself then please send them to communications@waverleyharriers.co.uk and we will post them in next week’s newsletter for other members to enjoy.
Tuesday: 6 x 3 minutes hard with 90 seconds recovery. Make sure you warm up thoroughly and find a quiet stretch of road, park or trail.
Thursday: Milford Loop – Wilfrid Noyce in Godalming to Milford and back. https://www.strava.com/routes/24424759
Weekend Challenge: Send us a picture of you with a boathouse! There are lots to choose from nearby.

News
Sam’s Town
Sam Allwood got a bit carried away with his weekend challenge on Saturday and ran 90km (56 miles) with 2500m of elevation in his successful attempt at a double ‘Godalming Round’. Good work Sam! I expect you will find it easier than most to stay indoors for a few days.
Weekend Challenge
We had a great response to our first weekend challenge in lieu of a Sunday run. We asked members to send us a picture of themselves outside a boathouse. Some went further than others…
Whilst some got ‘boat’ and ‘house’ muddled up…
Thanks to all of you who took part.
Stick to the latest advice, look out for each other and stay tuned for next week’s instalment.
