Summer is rapidly approaching (or have we already had it?) and that can mean only one thing; Yes it is the Pub Run season.
Every couple of weeks on Friday evening Canterbury Harriers reward themselves for their serious training endeavours by holding a pub run on a Friday evening at a variety of local (usually village) pubs.

Head Coach Gerry Reilly has provided a 15 week Marathon training programme for the 2011 Virgin London Marathon which will take place on sunday 17th april.

The Marathon training programme for this years race has had to be adapted to take into account the earlier date for the race and is set up to make the most of local target events, taking into to account the cancellation of the Thanet 20 in 2011 – the normal 20 mile target race.

The race itself took place on a hot day with forecasts of record breaking temperatures and weather warnings – not …
