Hello Everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are receiving this email, you are on the list for the WRW beginner running group for this year.\u00a0 It may have been a while since you were added but we hope you are still interested and excited to begin!\u00a0 In order for us to get a sense of the number of people to expect,\u00a0please respond (not reply all<\/u>) to this email<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0to let us know if you plan to be there.\u00a0 If you have changed your mind and are no longer interested in doing this group, or believe you may belong in the regular non-beginner group (see below), please let us know. The first week, several of the coaches, including me (Amy), will not be back in London yet as they have commitments in the US that will keep them beyond the start of ASL and the running season. So we will look forward to meeting you on Week Two or whenever we return. Our guest coach, Renata Figueirdo, will be on hand to make sure you are all well taken care of! A few guidelines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The program works – we promise.\u00a0 Countless women have come through it successfully.\u00a0 It’s hard, but it’s good fun and the sense of accomplishment you will feel is simply more than we can put down in words.\u00a0 So give it a try, show up on 2 September and see what happens.\u00a0 We know it’s scary – most women are terrified, some don’t sleep the night before the first session, some show up feeling queasy, but don’t worry.\u00a0 We are all in the same situation.\u00a0 We are doing this to\u00a0learn\u00a0how to run – it’s impossible to “slow down the group” or “hold people back”.\u00a0 You can do this – we promise.\u00a0 We\u2019ll hold your hand or pick you up and carry you if need be – just show up.\u00a0 That’s all you have to do is show up – we’ll guide you through each step along the way. \u00a0 See you on\u00a0September\u00a02!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This email is quite long but it is important that you read all the way to the end.<\/em><\/strong>
The beginner running group starts on Thursday, 2 September at 8:15 am at the Barclays in St. John’s Wood – corner of Wellington and Circus Roads.\u00a0 We are so excited to get going! \u00a0 \u00a0You can expect to receive an email from us each\u00a0week\u00a0explaining what we\u2019ll be doing the following\u00a0week.\u00a0 We expect that there will be more beginners joining us over the next several weeks as the new school year starts. \u00a0
A bit about your coaches:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A bit about Covid: We all know that rules can change about how we can gather in public. We are going to assume, and hope, that the restrictions will remain lifted and we will start out as we have in pre-Covid times. However, if things change, this program WILL continue, we will just modify it to fit whatever rules are in place. This may mean moving the meeting place and breaking into smaller groups. It will work – we managed it last year and it was fine – but we are hoping we can return to “normal” or at least as close to normal as possible this year. Please let any of your coaches know if you have questions or concerns.
