Change afoot!

[Teddington]

Hello all!

 

As those of you who have ventured to the shop in recent times may have noticed, there's been a change of personnel here on Broad Street; Mr Richard Cook has departed for the metropolitan glamour of managing the Sweatshop in the City of London. Hark at him! Gone but not forgotten, his memory will live on for all of us each time we look at Sweatshop marketing and see him gamely mugging away in the newest running clobber. (Richard will be running the Cabbage Patch 10 at the weekend.)

 

I'm still here though, and after being jealous of the happy bunch going out running while I'm stuck indoors for many an evening I've grasped the baton from Rich and will be there to gee things along every Thursday.

 

I, by the way, am Sam. I've been working here for two years, I've been a runner for about ten years and I love it, and I hope I'll be able to inject some of my passion and enthusiasm into the group and our running. If you haven't joined us for a while, please come along and if you're not sure who I am, ask someone. I'm friendly!

 

Alternatively, drop me an email. I'd love to hear from some of you, both those who I've seen many times, and those who may have joined and forgotten about us. Tell me about yourself, and tell me what you'd like to see from the me and the group.

 

I'd like to think I'll be able to provide advice and guidance for you at whatever level you may currently be at: I've trained with Olympic athletes and renowned coaches; and I've also run almost every step of the way with my girlfriend as she went from a complete novice to finishing the Reading Half Marathon last year.

 

This Thursday, I want to leave things in your hands. While we'll probably impose a little more structure and planning into our Mondays and Thursdays (and every other days) soon, this week I just want to show my face and get out on the road with you.

 

I don't want to keep you too much longer; I hope you're all healthy and happy and enjoying your running. (And if not, start asking why not?!!)

 

Your new voice of Sweatshop Teddington Running Group,

 

Sam Barnes
