Hi everyone,
Just a reminder to all that there will be a coached track running session tommorrow.
It will be at 9am at the running track at Amble.
We ask that you meet at the playground/ bmx park next to the high school at approximately 8.50am.
The session will last approximately 1hr depending on weather conditions.
Last weeks session went really well and we look forward to seeing you all there.
Is your bike buried in the garage?
Can you remember what it looks like?
Don’t fancy going out on it by yourself?
Here is the answer.
Each Sunday morning at nine o’clock, Mark Breeze from Breeze Bikes Amble will be taking out a group of novice group cyclists/rusty triathletes for a gentle spin. It will be a set route through the Northumberland countryside. Nothing to taxing at a steady 14ish MPH. Come on you know it’s time to start peddling. It wil be a friendly group with good crack, so no need to be worried about coming along or thinking your not good enough.
If its icy/ snowy it won’t be on.
So wrap up warm and get yourselves along.
See the Breeze Bikes website/ Facebook page for regular updates on what is happening.
If you’ve got a problem with your bike give Breeze Bikes a ring on 01665 710323 for friendly service and assistance.

The first of the track taster sessions took place this morning at Amble running track
8 athletes braved the -2 degrees and came out.
The session was all about stamina and pacing, running every lap at exactly the same pace as the first lap.
4.5 miles was run in the 45 min session, which was kept as brief as possible due to the cold weather.
There were some doubtful faces at the beginning when the athletes were told what pace to run (they all though the time was too slow) but I did get the feedback afterwards that it was amazing how hard it had been to maintain that pace throughout the session.
Other feedback was how great it was to run that type of session in a group rather than on your own.
There is another session next week, Saturday 21st Jan at 9am.
I have a link to the session we did this week and next week’s session so you can see the progression and plan it into your week Link 2
Tracey held her first level 2 coaching feed back track session at Amble this morning. It was a cold frosty morning, but an enjoyable quality session was had by all. Another session will be held next Saturday morning at the track at Amble, 9am start. Thanks to all those who took part.
