The Tough Get Going!
The pandemic persists but so do we! When the going gets tough, Paphos Running Club gets busy organising Covid-Compliant Virtual Challenges, Races, Training Programmes etc, and all the while, our membership grows and grows! We are so busily engaged in a host of activities for our worldwide members and guests from other local clubs, we are attracting more new members than ever at the moment, including walkers, cyclists, swimmers, triathletes, as well as runners!
The “marZIPan” Challenge
Our latest 6-week virtual challenge started in March involving 50 athletes from age 7 to 74. As the name suggests, the objective was to introduce “ZIP” into our training programmes, so no surprise half of us have achieved Personal Best performances!
Overall winner was cyclist STEVE COX who asserted himself by leading from Day One. However, runner LISA GWYNNE delivered the best age-group performance of the whole challenge, with a brilliant run confirming her National Standard status.
Our next all ages and all activities Challenge “MAYhem”, begins in May.
