Well Done
Everyone!
Chances are you're in for a dose of post-marathon
blues this week (all the more so for resting up and laying off the
running for the week).
Try a google search for 'post marathon
blues' there's some great articles on the web to help you though the
week!
Chin Up! You did a good run and you WILL will feel
better next week!
Tip: speed your body recovery by feeding
your body some superfoods: how about a bowl of fresh blueberries and
raspberries on a bed of greek-style yoghurt & a squirt of
condensed milk on top? (ok so the condensed milk isnt a
superfood...)

Speedwork Facilities - Now
available!
Watch this space for more details of GRR organised
training nights, hopefully with a qualified coach!.
The
warmer weather is upon us (honest) and so Inverurie Academy have
laid out their playing fields for the Athletic season.
The good
news is that it means we have a 400m track (grass) on our doorstep -
all nicely laid out waiting for you to have a blast round some night
when speedwork takes your fancy (I know & when hell freezes over
I hear you say...)
Not sure where the track is? click
