Well, eight weeks on, we’re pleased to report that on Saturday at the Bromley Parkrun the following beginners graduated with honours, all completing the 5k course:
Congratulations go to…..

Kent London Athletic Network
Posted by Nolan in Coaching & Running Advice, Everything Else on July 29th, 2010
As you may have read in emails and heard at club announcements, Beckenham have been actively forging links with 3 local clubs, Blackheath & Bromley, Bexley and Cambridge Harriers to form the Kent London Athletic Network (KLAN) in partnership with English Athletics. The KLAN aims to grow and sustain participation levels in athletics, increase the number of volunteers involved in the sport, improve the quality of experience for all participants and at the same time raise the standard of coaching and performance levels of athletes.
A new website has just gone ‘live’ which will provide information on the network, events, competitions, coaching etc, just click on the link below. As it’s new, content is light at the moment but please feel free to suggest anything that could be put forward for inclusion.
Exciting times for Beckenham!

I will be running a session at Norman Park on Saturday morning(3/7/10) if any members are interested. Please arrive at 9.45am ready to warm up with the session staring at 10am. If you want a ticket then please ensure you arrive at 9.45am, so that these can all be handed in before we start.
We will be doing a 1k rep session at 10k pace and aiming to do between 6 to 8 reps. With usual warm up exercises beforehand that you all like so much.
Coaching session (current & future)
Posted by Helen G in Coaching & Running Advice, Everything Else on March 26th, 2009
Just a reminder that there is a track session at Norman Park on Saturday morning at 10am. The track costs £3 to use. Please bring a watch to time your reps and recoveries.
We are trying to agree some dates for April which is proving a bit tricky with various holidays. One date which is fixed is Saturday 25th April which will be a track session at Norman Park. Those running the London Marathon the next day are welcome to come and help time – might help take your mind off the impending event! Helen
