Walk to run

 

Claire and Linda are running a walk to run group on Thursday evenings at the football club from 7 till 8. They are both qualified UKA leaders. If you know anyone that is interested in running but is not sure how to start then this is the ideal way to do it so invite them along.

 

Walkers

 

The walking group is now finding some really nice walks on Thursday evenings. It is a good opportunity to get out have a chat and some exercise.

 

Thursday Runners

 

Terry and Alan are now organising a warm up on Thursday evenings before we go for a run. This is great for reducing the risk of injury and improving your performance. They have both qualified as UKA Leaders and have a wealth of experience and knowledge .

 

New Press Secretary.

Graham Parkes has taken over the role of Press Secretary. His e mail address is at the top of this news letter. Thank you to Paul for all the hard work he has put in getting us in the paper so many times in recent months.

New Calendar on the web site.

We have changed the calendar on the web site. It can now be updated by anyone hopefully this will make it more use to members. Please use the calendar to let people know of events you are going to and any events that the club should know about. The Calendar is hosted outside our website.

Endomondo is an application that runs on a mobile phone and tracks you as you  run.

 

You can download you runs onto the internet and it will show you your route on google maps and give you all the data about speed and splits.

 

It works with many phones that have GPS built in, look at the web site to see if it is available for your phone.

 

If you use I phone or an Android phone search the apps store for endomondo and download it. You may also find an app called tracker booster, this will make your phone one of the most accurate gps devices available but will drain you battery very quickly.
