Stretching Class at the Running Club on Tues 2nd Feb at 8.00pm I am going to run a stretching session at the club, as per requests from a few people before Christmas. Hopefully it will be relevant and useful to plenty of members !! I aim to do two things : 1 - Give you a practical stretching session, which will show you a variety of useful stretches, where I can check you are actually doing them safely and effectively and probably make you aware of some muscles that would really benefit from some stretching, that don't appear in the basic runner's repetoire. 2. Clear up any misconceptions about whether stretching is actually worth bothering with; explain when to stretch for best results, and give you enough knowledge to go away and apply the information to suit you as an individual. Please be ready to start promptly at 8pm. I would expect to be finished by 9pm. A run beforehand would be ideal, but either way, wear a warm track suit or similar, and either bring an exercise mat if you have one, or a towel. See you there ! Sue Ellis

Unfortunately, it has turned out that we cannot have use of the club room on a Tues night, because of the Squash section having access to the bar .... so TUES 2nd IS OFF. The alternative is a Wed night, and the next Wed that I have available is WED 17th of Feb. at 7:30pm. Please could you put your name down on this thread if you intend to come to the STRETCHING session on Wed 17th Feb. I want to be sure that there is actually enough interest to make it worthwhile. Thanks. Sue E

Sue, I'll be there on 17th, but have you thought of asking Kate Lightfoot about possible use of the Successfactory for 2nd?

I know that there is plenty of interest in the B group - lots of chat about it during and after running (when we are probably stretching in all the wrong ways!!) Let us know if 17th is def or if 2nd can be somewhere else!! 17th is during half term so you may not get some of us teachers!

Hi Sue, I can make the 17th or the 2nd x

Definately interested - I think OK either date + Rob too

Yes, count me in for either too

I'll be there too Sue.

OK. Thanks for the responses. I will make the 17th the confirmed date, and will get it booked in the club house diary. Coaches -- could you pass the word on to your groups. Many thanks. Sue

Sue, I can book it in the club house diary tomorrow. I'll also email members with revised date. Steve

Count me in for this. Thanks.
