Liss Runners

Training

Arrangements for Club Activities Due to Social Distancing Precautions:

The club can now meet for all its regular training sessions with some restrictions on group numbers and social distancing precautions. To enable planning of groups and potential contact tracing all runners attending a session are required to register their intention to run using the Doodle polls circulated by email and Whatsapp.

Regular club runs such as the social runs, Sunday runs and torch runs are restricted to 6 runners per group. If more than 6 then separate groups will be designated with different start times offset by 30 minutes from the previous group.

Wednesday training has now resumed and may have up to 12 runners plus a trainer per group. This session is run in a COVID secure environment in line with the recommendations of UK Athletics.

All training sessions will be facilitated by an online ‘Doodle Poll’ system which will assist us in allocating groups. Where possible a group coordinator will be allocated for each group.

The club's risk assessment of these arrangements have introduced the following rules to minimise the risks associated with the spread of Covid-19:

You MUST follow the current government guidance on social distancing and other hygene measures.
DO NOT turn up for training if you feel unwell or are exhibiting any symptoms of Covid-19.
You must book all sessions in advance. Those members without a advance booking will be turned away.
The Newman Collard clubhouse building will remain unused at this time. Please ensure you bring water etc with you to sessions. Do not share water bottles with other runners.
Do not allow other runners to join your ‘official’ group on the day.

Sunday Runs:**

Sunday runs start with a "social mile" run as a single group before the group divides into smaller groups of similar ability for the remainder of the run. All the routes are around 10 miles and are all on road. The routes feature a mix of topography but are generally "lumpy."
