Injured? Need Advice?

Maybe Jane Hodgson at physiobench.com can help.

"We offer on line physio advice to enable people to self manage their injury with expert physio guidance. I feel that Physiobench would fit perfectly with your website. As well as offering personalised rehab programmes we have lots of free advice on site. At the moment articles that would be of interest to your club members include, healing an injury with ice, treating a sprained ankle, treating runners knee. New articles are added regularly.

We have a team of physios who are all specialist in their sporting fields. I run (for Saddleworth Runners), orienteer and adventure race extensively and therefore understand the kind of injuries that runners suffer both from a personal and professional viewpoint. I have already added a link to your site from our running injuries page.

With Thanks
Jane Hodgson"

I have also put a link to their website on our links page.

Iron Legs - Tribute to Fun Runners

An ex-runner called Jim Dolphino has composed a song tribute to fun runners, here's a quote from the email he sent me:

"Having run marathons and half-marathons for many years both in the United Kingdom and abroad, the time came to call it a day and so I composed a song tribute to the many thousands of fun runners who do so much for others; it is called 'Iron Legs' and might just be of interest to you and your members!"

Have a look at his Iron legs flyer if you want to find out where you can buy a copy from.
