Westfield TT still running!

It has been a really difficult year trying to arrange Westfield TT running groups with all the restrictions.

The new running track has been amazing, not only for running but also for using the gym equipment and having a secure and safe place to meet during the dark winter evenings.

The track has been priceless for introducing new runners and also experienced members, gaining new levels of fitness in a safe environment by not running through busy streets.

At the moment we can only run in pairs - 2m apart which makes group training session impossible. So I have improvised by laying a flour trail on Sunday mornings which runners can easily follow in pairs.

The trails take them on an unknown local route that starts and finishes at the running track.

It gives everyone the opportunity to still train at whatever time suits them on a Sunday.

They can pair up with someone of the same speed and I've had several comments from local residents of all ages that also have great fun following the arrows by walking the route.

This gives us a great feeling that the local community are joining us in keeping fit and healthy. Routes are usually 6-8 miles. .

Many thanks once again for all the amazing support from Westfield Parish Council which have helped to improve so many lives during these difficult times.
