This week's runs - 27th & 28th September

Blogging early for once! It's been kind of drizzly for this week's runs. I think the Advanced group have got (even) fitter over the summer - Monday's ascent of the big hill in Bishopstoke was easier than we remembered! 2 good sociable runs in Eastleigh with the Improvers and the Beginners are up to 4 minutes.

Don't forget that WRN subs go up on the 1st October. Do join online or get your application in the post as soon as you can if you want to beat the £5 price rise (now £25 per annum). You do need to be a member to run with Eastleigh WRN.

This week's topic for the Beginners was nutrition. I've attached a link to an interesting Guardian article - on first glance, it seems to claim that exercise won't help you lose weight. However, on a slower read, I've decided that it's a good homily on the dangers of over compensating for exercise with food. More of a risk after an intensive session!
