Bank Holiday Hash

Sun, 29/08/2010 - 08:42 — Big Al

Alright so there won't be any corned beef or alcohol but on Monday John Roberts and a willing team of helpers will be organising a hash.  Please meet at the Lookout for 9:20 and we'll explain just what will happen.  It should be a good fun morning and if it all goes to plan we should be back at the heritage centre at around 10:30 for a good strong cup of tea!

There will not be an evening run on Bank Holiday Monday.

MOTI Running and Triathlon Shop

Thu, 26/08/2010 - 09:04 — Big Al

Despite the appalling weather conditions last night approximately a dozen members took advantage of the free gait analysis provided by Shaun and Martin from MOTI.

We have decided therefore to organise a follow on session in approximately 4 weeks time where those of you were unable to attend last night will have the chance to try the analysis for yourself.

MOTI Running and Triathlon Shop

Sun, 22/08/2010 - 08:16 — Big Al

MOTI, the new Run & Triathlon Store in Reading, will be joining our club session at the Bracknell Leisure Centre on Wed 25 August.

They'll be bringing along their Shoe Fit Lab, to give members a chance to see their gait on video, and to provide expert feedback on which shoes are right for your individual gait. The Shoe Fit Lab process also features a biomechanics assessment, which looks at your flexibility, core stability and impact of injuries on your running gait.

MOTI will have a range of neutral shoes to use on the night, but if you would like a free assessment, please bring along your regular run shoes.

MOTI's main aim is to provide advice and services that keep people running injury free over their lifetime. All shoes sold carry a 30 day exchange promise, and members of Bracknell Forest Runners receive a 10% discount off anything in the store.

Windle Valley Relay Marathon (formally the Brickmakers)

Sun, 15/08/2010 - 21:05 — Big Al

Hi team.

The WVR relay marathon will be held on Saturday 4 September at Lightwater Country Park.  The race starts at 1:00PM and comprises 10 legs each of around 2.6 miles so overall a marathon distance.  Last year we finished 3rd and 5th and we'd like to enter at least 2 teams again this year.

The club will pay the entry fees for our teams.  If you would like to compete please let me know as soon as possible so I can enter our teams.

Cheers Al
