Kent London Athletic Network
Posted by Admin2 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 found this on my mobile phone. BRC runners, and dog, relax in full glorious widescreen format after the GRB.
Elmbridge 10k
Posted by craig in Everything Else on July 26th, 2010
For those looking for a fast 10k next year. This is the one. First half is fast and flat along main road for 5k. You then turn and run back along the picturesque Thames towpath for 5k. It starts and finishes in Walton on Thames. I finished in 37:07 fastest time since May 2005 even with a glut strain! Craig.
Dunwich Dynamo Dun
Posted by will in Everything Else on July 26th, 2010
Two Runners, made it to Dunwich on the Suffolk coast by bicycle over night on Saturday, participating in the Dunwich Dynamo. Steve and Will (I) decided fairly early on with the warm weather conditions and very slight head wind (and low number riders from the club, just us two!) to set down a fast (ish) club record even though it is not a race.
We left at 8.10pm on Saturday and arrived at Dunwich at 6.30am. Our total stops lasted 1hr30m with 30m for midnight lunch. Our average speed was 13.3mph.
Thanks for the support to the start and Tony for driving us back. Photos to follow.
