YOGA

This year saw the start of our exclusive Yoga for runners sessions. These are available for all STARC members and all associated members who have marshalled at our events. We have had a great turn out each month and the sessions have been accessible for everyone. Our fantastic STARC member Sam has been leading us through deep stretches to ease muscles after races, balance work and increasing core strength. We welcome everyone to join, £5 per person.

Strength & Conditioning

This quarter also saw the start of our Strength and Conditioning sessions for runners, led by STARC member Rich Martin. This is open to all STARC members and all associated members who have marshalled at our events. These sessions are open to everyone to everyone to become stronger and faster runners in a fun and supportive environment. These sessions are £5 cash and includes weekly exercises from Rich to continue training between the monthly sessions.

WELFARE

As a club your welfare is important to us. But what does that mean?

Melanie Nile and Iain Walker are our Welfare Officers.

In terms of physical welfare, we want to make sure events and sessions are safe for all of us. We also recognise that we get injured and want to help runners get back to running safely. Please let us know if you would like support from us in your return to running.

Mental welfare is equally, if not more, important. Many people run to ‘escape’ different stressful aspects of life. Running can be a great way to do this and having others around often helps as well. We want you to know that we are here for you. Of course you may well already have support available but please do reach out if you would like support from the club.

Having Iain as chaplain means that we value spiritual health as well and he is here for people of faith, no faith and all faiths, where confidential or awkward conversations can be engaged in. As Welfare Officers we are here to support wherever we can.

Please feel free to approach us if you have any concerns or just want to ‘chat’.
