Fantastic Route - Tunnels Greenway, Bath

Here are two photos I took of some of the SPARINTER running club members in the Tunnel ready to run!

We had a great time trying out this run tonight. It was really dark on the way there and so getting the tunnels was really exciting as they were all lit up. We will definitely be doing this run again. Highly recommend it. However, make sure if you are running at night you take a torch and have a running buddy as its very dark until you get to the tunnels.

Nike+ Running app

For those of you with a Smartphone I really recommend downloading this app. It is available for iPhone and Android phones. The Nike+ Running app is free; tracks distance, pace, time and calories burnt with GPS, giving you audio feedback as you run. It also automatically uploads to nikeplus.com where you can see your runs, including your route and elevation.

2 Tunnels Greenway, Bath

The Two Tunnels Greenway is a four-mile walking and cycling route which runs from Bath to Midford through two disused railways tunnels and across a viaduct. This will be an exciting route to try out for tonights run; the tunnels are illuminated and so a great place to run during dark evenings!

Help me raise money for Cancer Research UK!

I thought I'd try the challenge of running the Bath half marathon in under 1 hour 30 minutes, as well as raising money for Cancer Research UK. 

I will be extremely grateful if you can donate even the smallest amount for Cancer Research UK, who have helped double survival rates of cancer in the last forty years.

Pulse and Calorie Monitor Watch

At SPARINTERS we have mentioned that it would be a great idea to get hold of a gadget to measure performance. One of our members posted an excellent link on our Facebook page where you can buy this useful performance measure gadget; it really is a great price! I know I am definitely purchasing it. It is a great idea to purchase it so that you can record performance each week and see if you are improving. Especially useful for those who have applied for the Half Marathon!  

Description: Unisex exercise watch keeps tabs on calories burnt, heartrate and exercise duration and features a one-finger touch pulse test. The watch also tells the time in 12-hour format, while an alarm and calendar help wearers to rise bright and early and plan workouts with ease.
