Help with training

When you register for a run we will send you a Runners' Pack, which includes hints and tips on training. You can also check out the following useful websites for advice:

• RealBuzz - lots and lots of general healthy living and fitness advice and an entire section devoted to running.
• http://www.runnersworld.com/ - this is an American site, but it has good information on topics such as injury prevention and choosing the correct footwear.

And don't worry, Liz is only a phone call or email away if you need some encouragement!

We have so many fantastic supporters doing runs for us that we've given them their own special thank you page.
