@EnglandAthletic@MillomSchool@SL_Consult@parkrunUK How is this going to boost performance sport/training? Do parkrunners really need an all-weather surface? What’s wrong with existing pavements and footpaths? Why replace grass with rubber? Also not floodlit so not much use in winter?
@EnglandAthletic@MillomSchool@SL_Consult@parkrunUK That looks nice but would be better with floodlights and surely not at the expense of proper tracks and waterjumps, jump pits etc - I hope EA aren’t saying this is the future of athletics
When is a track not a track? Are these unlit jogging trails a good idea? When did the focus shift so completely away from performance to mass participation? Worrying….
How great is this new facility at @MillomSchool in Cumbria? Despite limited space for a standard oval 400m facility, @SL_Consult have designed a straight track and trail jogging route for students, the local community and @parkrunUK to enjoy running and walking around!
It’s sad to see how many athletics clubs nowadays are fundraising to improve their tracks so they can continue operating. Please check out @WSEH_AC crowdfunder and show some support!

Just read the @LondonMarathon update email. It ain't going to work guys - you're essential asking 40,000 people to run with their mobile phones. Will definitely be needed up to/morning of the race, and afterwards - not practical #LondonMarathon
Well done also to Jacqueline Heller (u15g) and Jemima Ridley (u17w) who both qualified for their respective finals over 1500m today at the @SEAACompetition champs in Kingston👏🏼
Some great performances yesterday at the @SEAACompetition champs in Kingston. Well done to William Hapgood, a first year u13 who ran 2:22 in his 800m heat and to Grace Colley who was just outside her PB in the girls event
We are delighted to announce that our county cross country champs will be held on Sunday December 19 @Copasfarmspyo in Cookham. Thanks to the venue and to @CookhamJuniors for hosting
