Junior 1 Mile Race – 14^th March (at Burnley 10K)

 

16/03/10

 

What a great turnout of young people on Sunday 14th March for the Race at Queens Park.

 

Clayton juniors did us proud with Isaac Wilkinson leading the younger juniors all the way. A great result just in time for his birthday on the 20th March. With David Armstrong, Maxwell & Harrison Baldwin, all aged 6, coming home in the middle of the field. I swear there was a tear in the eyes of proud Dads Jamie & Andrew.

 

13 yr old Hartley E. Beckett winning for the older juniors followed by a close second from 9 yr old William Bellard. "Definitely one to watch".

Also well done to Christopher Archer who came 6th in a field of 26 as an U11 guest runner in one mile junior xc event at Eshort on 7th march.

Our Junior Training Sessions for 6-12yr olds will commence on Saturday 21st Nov '09  12.30-1.30pm at Spirit of Sport, Ormerod Road, Burnley. They will take place outside on the Tennis courts, so appropriate clothing and footwear is needed.

 

Please arrive 10 mins early to complete a Medical Questionnaire and Parent consent form.

 

I would like to reassure all parents who I am before you let your most treasured children into the world of training.

CRB checks are in progress for Cynthia and myself and will be cleared by the end of November.

 

As a personal coach and trainer, I'm on the register of exercise professionals advanced level 3, Qualified in Training and Development, Cardiac rehabilitation and Health and Nutrition. So the training will be safe and effective.

 

My way of coaching is 20% technical and 80% inspirational and I hope to inspire all juniors to realise their potential and have fun.

 

All this would not be possible without the full support of all club officials and my right hand girl friday Cynthia Allan who's 100% input makes my job so much easier.

 

Please check Training ads for Juniors 6-12yrs and older Juniors.

Please note change of email.

 

Things are progressing for the juniors training sessions to start. Just lots of CRB checks and funding to sort out. Hope to have some positive news shortly. I will then be contacting all Junior members individually to have a chat and see what we can achieve together. It's what you want that is important.

 

 Well done again to new member Aidan Holgate in the Accrington 10k road race. 1st Male Junior in a time of 41.11. Aidan has only been running for 2 months so one to watch!

 

All parents of younger members please let me know if your child has been racing etc. Then all junior members will get a mention.

 

 

We have recently taken over as your new junior coordinator andWe are hoping in the future months and years to encourage more juniors to join the club as well as seeing the existing members progress.

We are looking to set up a structured session on a Saturday morning for younger juniors (6 to 12 years) and these sessions will be concentrated on time spent training rather than distance. For older juniors (12 to 19 years) I already run two groups which meet at the Spirit of Sport Leisure Centre, Ormerod Road Burnley (next to the Fire Station).


If you are interested in any of the groups or just want some further information please contact me on 07940 418603
Parents please note: we are looking for juniors who want to run not parents who want their children to run!!

Fire station 2k run, 4th Oct 2009

Well done to Isaac Wilkinson and Paul Archers son, Christopher, who ran yesterday. A special mention to Paul's son who came 3rd overall in the boys race. Both boys ran well.

 

Fire Station 7, 4th Oct 2009

A special mention to our new Clayton junior, 16 year old Aidan Holgate who came 16th overall in the race. He is a young man with a lot of potential running well in a race which included some very good club runners and coming in just behind Lee Clough which is a great achievement given that Lee is a strong runner.

 

I am sure that all the older members will be pleased to see these young runners carrying on the Clayton tradition.
