This Summer’s Star Runners
August 3, 2009
Just two weeks after completing the 8-week Running Made Easy course, Gillian and Claire, neither of whom had done any aerobic exercise before starting the course, took part in the St James’ Liberties Fun Run. They both completed the 6.5k race in a very respectable 40 minutes and, more importantly, they enjoyed every step of the run, even the hills! Well done girls and see you at the Simon Fun Run in October!

Thanks

Hi Tina

thanks

Hi Siobhan
There’s no one shoe that fits everyone, it depends on your feet and your gait what kind of shoe you need. The best thing to do is to get a gait analysis done. If you’re in Dublin, you can get it done in Elverys on Suffolk Street. It’s free and you don’t even have to buy shoes there, so it’s worth doing. I think Asics, New Balance and Brooks make good running shoes, but there are few others as well. I’m using Asics at the moment and love them but, as I said, everyone is different.
Hey Tina, i just entered the simon community fun run eep!!!
Tcup – I’ll bring my camera
Is there any way I can be squeezed into the april beginners group as 2 of my work buddies are doing it and we could motivate each other.
I would really appreciate it, Or if you ran a cancellation list I would be really appreciative if you would put my name on it,
Thanks,
Marie
