7a.m. HOSTS

In arranging the 7 a.m. host list, a request is circulated via the Striders e-mail list. If anyone is not on this list or does not have access to e-mail and

would like to host a 7 a.m. group, we’d love to hear from you! Let me know and I will contact you when arranging the next calendar.

 

STaR HOSTS

We are in need of some new STaR hosts. There are a couple of STaRs available. Hosting is fun and very rewarding. If you would like to inquire

about hosting, talk to any committee member or any STaR host.

 

STaR PACE GUIDE

STaR is the Sydney Striders Training Run over 1 of 34 different courses around the North Shore, Northern Beaches, Eastern Suburbs, Inner West,

and Inner South.

 

STaRs cater for all standards of runners. Training groups set out for distances between 20 and 30 kms at:

6:00 am          running at approx 6 min/km

6:10 am          5.30 min/km

6:20 am          5.00 min/km

6:30 am          4.30 min/km

6:30 am          walking group

7:00 am          New Members and visitors – distances between 10 and 15 kms at an easy pace

 

Not sure what group to run with? – check the Striders website for your 10K handicap time, which also lists your recommended STaR group.

 

STaR ratings (eg. H3 B1):

Hx  where x is the Hill rating from 0 = flat to 5 = very hilly

Bx  where x is the number of kms in the Bush

 

CAR KEYS

You don't have to carry your car keys with you! Please leave them with the STaR host at the start of the run so that s/he knows everyone has returned

 and no-one is still out there lost or injured.

 

RUBBISH DISPOSAL AT STaRs

STaR hosts are now putting out large orange garden garbage bags for empty drink cans so that cans can be collected and disposed of separately

from food waste. If members would help with this it would be appreciated.
