LCL Road Race 17th Aug. Chepstow
10/08/2010 by Lou.
The last in the series of leisure centre league road races is next Tuesday – hosted by Chepstow.
By running it helps the team plus it would be great to have a good turnout at our own race.
Many will know the course but for those who don’t it’s a reasonably hilly 10k route similar to the Hayesgate run.
The race will start just beyond the junction of St. Lawrence road and Mounton Road, along Mounton Road but we will meet at Chepstow Leisure centre from 6.45 pm to jog to the start.
Also if you are injured or can’t run for some other reason your help as a marshal would be appreciated - please let us know. Email Dick dickfinch@talktalk.net or me summers363@btinternet.com ( before Sunday ) or reply on the bulletin board http://chepstowharriers.org.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=995&sid=065ccc3835a36a8ee6730124d6414520 .
Thanks

Cotswold Way Relay - Today!
25/06/2010 by Lou.
All our runners would appreciate your support somewhere along the Cotswold Way Relay today
http://www.cotswoldwayrelay.co.uk/CWRstagesroutes.htm
Would be great to see as many as possible runners/supporters at the presentation and celebrations at Bath Rugby Club (BA2 4BQ) You can park at the RC and walk to the finish of Leg 10.
Getting to the Rugby Club is easy. Coming down the A46 from Cold Ashton, take the A4 (London Rd) towards Bath. At the major traffic lights after about a mile, turn left along Bathwick Street, right into Sydney Place, 2nd right into Great Pulteney St, 2nd left into William St, right at the bottom and park by the pitch.
Walk past the Rugby Clubhouse, turn right along by the river, up the steps and across Pulteney Bridge. Turn left along the opposite bank of the river, curve round and cross the road to the back of Bath Abbey. Cross the square in front of the Abbey, and Leg 10 finishes by the colonnade at the far end of the square.
When all the runners have come in we’ll walk back to the Rugby Club for a drink and the prize presentations. The organisers have promised that the World Cup football will be showing on the big screen.

Thanks to Chepstow Physiotherapy’s Vanessa and Richard Coates

From the feedback this evening people found the talk on injury prevention and treatment very useful. The most important point I have found is to get an injury diagnosed early so that you can take the right course of action to get your running form back as soon as possible.
Vanessa and Richard have offered to give another session to give more advice on specific injuries. So if there is a particular problem you would like advice on eg - IT band, achillies then put your suggestion forward.
Either on the bulletin board http://chepstowharriers.org.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=932&sid=26c50358ebc35c147fbe699e63c8229a or here.
