Wimbledon Windmilers Running Club

Wimbledon Windmilers Running Club is London's second biggest running club and we think it's the most friendly and welcoming with over 700 members of all ages and a wide range of abilities. Whether you're an experienced runner or you've just starting out and want to meet people of the same level then you'll be in great company for training (and socialising!). The best place to start is our Sunday morning (see photo-story) club runs. The club competes at all levels in a variety of races including county cross-country, club relays, marathons, triathlons and adventure racing. Our coached training sessions are as follows: Tuesday evening (speedwork), Thursday evening (hill training), Saturday mornings (track - see photos), and Sunday mornings (3, 5, 7, 11 miles and longer). As you'd expect when we're not running there is also a very active social side to the club.

If you would like to come and find out more then feel free to try out any of our training sessions. If you like it then you can decide to join. Or if you'd like to ask us any questions before you come along please drop us a note to enquiry@windmilers.org.uk and we'll get back to you asap!

WHERE IS THE BANNER?

The Windmilers have two team flags or banners which fly proudly at cross country and other events. One is currently missing - we believe someone helpfully took it home after one of the women's cross country events. If you know where it is please contact Richard and Jess on womenscaptain@windmilers.org.uk

Swim Sessions

On Monday 18th January we will be starting a new set of 10 swim sessions at Wimbledon College. We have two sets, 7:15pm for the 'slower' group and 8:15pm for the medium to fast group. As before, cost will be £5 per session or £35 to cover the next 10 sessions up to March 22nd. The sessions focus on front crawl, and are fully coached, including focus on technique. (Note that this is not a 10 week 'course' as such, you can start any time, there just happens to be a 10 week payment option).

We have a wide range of abilities, and swimmers have been coming along with a range of aims such as fitness, injury rehabilitation, as well as to train for multisport events such as triathlon (for which we have a number of first timers aiming for a short local event in April).

Whilst in the past we had a little less pool space, with 2 hours we have more scope for a wider ability range, so if you are interested please let me know. Whilst we aren't able to teach people to swim from scratch, if you can do 50-100m front crawl, that should be sufficient to attend. If you're not sure, please just ask.

If you are interested in attending, please email me first so I can allocate you a place. My email is tri@windmilers.org.uk. Also, any questions just let me know.

Level One Coaching Courses

Hi Windmilers,

The club relies on its volunteers to keep going and we are always interested to hear from members who would like to try coaching and get more involved with the club.

The first step is to undertake the England Athletics level-one coaching course, which takes one day to complete. There is a course coming up on 28th March at Sutton Arena, Carshalton. You can find the details and look for details of future level one courses in our area, on the England Athletics website.

The club can pay for training; members whose level one training is paid for are encouraged to join in the coaching rota.

If you are interested in going on one of these courses, please contact Claire Morgan first on claire36runner-public@yahoo.co.uk to find out about the simple club requirements.

thanks,

Claire Morgan,
Chair, Windmilers
