Thank you to the 71 Windmilers who supported the recent Mob Match against Stragglers on Saturday morning at Wimbledon Common Park Run. The results are in! Actually there’s two sets of results worked out using two different methods and which ever way we look at it... WE WON 

More importantly it was a great friendly competition against one of our neighbouring clubs and they’ve already asked us to head their way for a rematch next year

Surrey Road League 2019

The Surrey Road League events are all confirmed. These are popular and well organised events which represent excellent value for money and many offer great PB potential on fast courses. A good number of Windmilers participate each year. As well as being great individual events there are team scores with the first 4 men, and the first 3 women to score for the club. There are age category prizes across the league fixtures too.

Windmiler Wisdom - Running and training for a Marathon

Running a marathon can be a daunting task and completing one is a major achievement.  For the newcomer it can seem overwhelming; it seems a huge task with many pitfalls.  Thankfully there is a lot of guidance out there, hundreds of internet pages, videos and books.

But our club mates are also packed with wisdom, between them a few centuries of running experience; often the wisdom we seek is standing or jogging right next to us.  So it is worth asking other Windmilers for advice. Here are some marathon tips from fellow Windmilers.
