Leading by example

Changes in our leaders and Ambassadors!

Farsley Flyers has been going for 3 years now and we continue to go from strength to strength by focussing on providing quality social runs to the community, for free.

We offer at least 6 groups each week catering from beginners through to advance runners and to ensure we cater for all abilities we have the very best run leaders out there leading our groups! - well in our opinion anyway ;)

Over the course of the last few years we have unfortunately lost a few star leaders who for personal reasons can no longer commit to our weekly sessions, so we have said farewell to Bronwen who is focussing on her career, Paul who is taking a back seat for a while and Yaz who is now a qualified cycle coach. But don’t worry all these stars are still on the scene and you will likely still see them around the area or flying with us on a Monday or Thursday night as members rather than leaders.

So that has left us room to replenish the leadership force! And it is with great pleasure that we have welcomed Emily to the team who has been leading for a few months now and is an asset to the club Emily is a competent runner that can confidently lead groups from G1 through to G5. We also have newcomer Dom who is an experienced runner with a taste for crazy challenges, so if you need advice on Ultra’s, trail running, fell running, endurance running or anything that involves running in a fancy dress costume Dom is the man!

Not only do we have new faces on the leadership side we also have a few new ambassadors who are crucial in supporting the club leaders and members. Recent joiners being Carol, Martin and Alistair and not forgetting our latest recruit Oli who has joined us as our mental health ambassador – so welcome aboard!

We now have 3 qualified running coaches as part of the Flyers team, so if you are looking for 1-2-1 coaching advice then Alison, Oliver and Duncan will be happy to help with training programs and goal setting.

So that’s a pretty strong team we have and that means we can always have at least 2-3 leaders in each group to offer support and motivation to all, whether you’re upfront, at the back or in the middle we will ensure you are enjoying “your” running journey.

To see all our leaders then please go to the leader area of this website.
