🔥 45 absolute legends tonight

8 coaches and leaders, 36 athletes, and one chronically smug human armed with a whistle 😙

Tonight wasn’t just warm — it was “why‑is-the-sun-like-this” warm. And yet you still turned up instead of staying home with a fan, an ice lolly, and your dignity.

Bold choice. Proud of you.

💧 Thank you for actually listening to the hydration advice — drinks, cooling towels, sensible behaviour… who even are you people?

And a massive shout‑out to Kevin Andrews, rolling in like the hydration hero with bonus water bottles for those without🥰

You didn’t just beat the heat tonight — you showed it who's boss 💥👊🏼

🌡️ Tonight's Medway Fit Training

With the hot weather continuing, we'll be following our Hot Weather Protocol this evening.

🏃 The main training session will be 30 minutes. 💧 There will be a designated area to leave drinks, so please bring a bottle and make use of it throughout the session. ⚡

If you're expecting to sweat heavily, remember that hydration isn't just about water. Replacing electrolytes can help maintain hydration and support muscle function in the heat.

Please listen to your body, ease off if needed, and let one of the coaches know if you're feeling unwell.

☀️ Looking ahead to the weekend, temperatures are expected to stay high. If you're planning a longer run, consider starting earlier or later in the day, carry fluids where possible, and don't forget to replace both fluids and electrolytes after longer or sweatier efforts.

Train smart, stay hydrated, and we'll see you tonight! 🧡🖤

☀️🥵 Heat training done right.
Tonight wasn't about speed or PBs. It was about getting the work done safely, chatting with friends, and enjoying the miles together.
With the temperature soaring, we kept things sensible, split into smaller groups, ran at conversation pace, looked after one another and made sure everyone got home smiling.

🧡 65 total runners 👟 18 Coaches & Run Leaders 🏃 47 Athletes

Thank you to everyone who came along, adapted to the conditions and made it another brilliant Medway Fit evening.

Same team. Same support. Just a little bit sweatier. 😅🧡

Remember that it's going to continue to be hot out this week, please please take care of yourself and stay hydrated🧡🖤.

If you know you struggle or have a history of over heating on a run please take the extra precautions you need to so that you can train safely, even if that means skipping out the session and taking a rest day or perhaps joining our walking group and slowing down.

Most importantly, please hydrated throughout the day, it's not going to be enough to chug a glass of water 20 minutes before leaving the house. Regular sips throughout the day before and after your run helps keep you topped up.

🎓 C25K Graduation Day! ☀️🥵🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Who ordered more sunshine?!

Our graduates certainly didn't... but they took on the heat and still smashed their official graduation 5K at parkrun this morning! 🌞💪

A huge congratulations to Megan, Rachel, Mary, Matt, Steve, Katherine, Claire and Tracey. Every one of you should be incredibly proud of what you've achieved. From those first nervous steps to crossing your 5K finish line, you've shown what determination (and a lot of sweat! 😅) can do.

A special shout-out to Heidi, Bernie and Jayne. You couldn't celebrate with us today, but you're every bit as much a part of our graduating class, and we can't wait to celebrate with you soon. 🧡🖤

Now, who's signing up for the next weeks club training 😉🎉

KeepMoving 🧡🖤

Tomorrow is Graduation Day! 🧡🖤
Good luck to all of our C25K graduates as they take on their graduation parkrun at Great Lines Parkrun! What an incredible journey you've been on, from those very first steps to confidently running 5K. Every early morning, every challenge, and every milestone has brought you to this moment.
A huge thank you to our amazing Medway Fit coaches, run leaders, volunteers, and members who make this club such a welcoming, supportive community. Your encouragement, smiles, and cheers are what make Medway Fit so special.
If you're coming along tomorrow, don't forget to wear your Medway Fit orange 🧡🖤 and black with pride and help give our graduates the loudest finish-line support possible!
Let's celebrate every runner, every achievement, and the incredible community we've built together.
See you at Great Lines Parkrun! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🧡🖤

Up. Down. Around. Repeat. Just a bunch of runners taking turns pretending the hill was getting smaller. Still not sure what was louder: the thunder or the collective groan when the hill came back into view. 😂⚡

Session done. Legs cooked, spirits high, and another solid training session in the bank. 💪🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Props to everyone who came out this evening. 74 dedicated runners joined either the main session or our C25K group, who smashed their 2 × 8-minute runs. 💪🏼👏🏼

Brilliant team work all round. 🧡🖤

Huge shoutout to all our legends who survived this week’s heatwave training block ☀️🥵👏

Tuesday’s easy conversational pace run was less “conversation” and more: “...you good?” “...water?” “...why is the sun so personal lately?”

Then Thursday arrived with full blown Adult PE energy 🎽😂
Spread work, sweaty chaos, surprise competitiveness, and somehow… beanbags became elite athletic equipment for the evening 🫘🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Seriously though, thank you all for showing up, training smart in the heat, looking after each other, and keeping the laughs flowing even while melting gently into the field 🖤🧡🖤

Hydrate. Recover. Sign up early for training 😉
See you Saturday for Parkrun 🤜🏼🤛🏼
