Greetings, Sheffield Business Runners – AKA the Gang of a Lifetime!
We’ve got such a thriving community, and it’s been inspiring to see how everyone’s improving week by week. With our WhatsApp group buzzing with energy, I thought it was time to share a few updates and exciting plans for September and beyond.
MAM TOR SUNRISE SESSION THIS SUNDAY 22ND
We’re kicking off an epic morning adventure with a sunrise walk and run up Mam Tor! It’s a chance to get out of the city, connect with nature, and enjoy the breathtaking sunrise views from one of the Peak District’s most iconic spots. We'll be meeting early at Mam Nick Car Park, Rushup Edge (S33 8WA), walking up, and then walking/jogging or running along the ridge together, basking in the peacefulness of the morning light – a perfect way to start the day with your fellow runners!
As an added bonus, Rory from Made to Move is also hosting a 7km walk from 9am-11am across Longshaw, Burbage, and the Eastern Moors - meeting at National Trust Car Park - Longshaw Estate - Woodcroft Grindleford, Sheffield, S11 7TZ. Let’s do the double whammy – what a way to kick off your Sunday!
SHEFFIELD 10KM SUNDAY 29TH
Sign up here, theres a good handful of us going so far: https://www.runforall.com/events/10k/sheffield-10k/
INTERVAL TRAINING
We’re excited (and slightly sweating already) to introduce interval training as an option on a Monday! These sessions will focus on short bursts of intense effort followed by recovery periods, designed to improve speed, endurance, and overall performance. A great addition to our regular long and short loop runs, these will help sharpen your skills and push you to new heights. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or just want to keep up with the pack, interval training is something to try…even if it’s another lifetime!
T-SHIRTS
Great news! Our official Sheffield Business Runners T-shirts will be ready at some point in September. The shirts are being printed by James from Steelcity, with a custom design created by Leanne from Sheaf Designs – a big shoutout to both of them for their input! Grab yours and wear it with pride at your next run… or around town so everyone knows you mean business (and running)!
NETWORKING CALENDAR – LET'S SUPPORT EACH OTHER!
We’ve noticed many of you have noteworthy things happening in your businesses and work lives, and we want to give everyone the chance to share, support, and collaborate even more. That’s why we’re creating a Sheffield Business Runners Networking Calendar – a space to shout about what you’re doing, whether it’s a new project, event, or service. This calendar will help us better support each other, which is a huge part of what our club is all about! If you’d like to be have access or add events, please update your details in the WhatsApp group attachment or send them directly to Hannah. Let's build a community that thrives both on and off the running track!
