Rain, rain and more rain

We've had a perfect summer in terms of running, cool with occaisional drizzels. However numbers have been slightly low as not everyone like to run in the rain. Make the most of it, it's much better than running in 30 degrees heat!

New!!!!! The Power Plate arrives....

This week saw the arrival of the Power Plate at the studio. The Power Plate is a vibrational training tool which is helping runners to stay injury free, activate more muscles (to allow them to go faster and further) and inprove their fitness. Just a 10 minute workout is all you need compared to conventional training. Check out www.SynergyStudio1.co.uk

Still injury free

Due to the regular assessment process we have in place, our club remains injury free. Are you or someone you know injured? Try our FREE 30min MOT for any aches and pains you have.

5th week of marathon training

We have added an additional sunday 11am to accomodate the members running the mararthon in april. This weeks distance is 18km. If you're finding it difficult to train for the marathon on your own, why not contact us and see what support we could give you.

Marathon places arrive

This week we received 9 marathon places from the charity "The Avenues Youth Project". All 9 places were allocated to the runners of Synergy Running club, who this time 6 months ago could not even run for 5 minutes. Well done guys and girls you deserve it. Raise as much as you can!

National Back Awareness week 16-22 October

Do you have the odd niggle or lower back discomfort? If you do, you can receive a free postural assessment and try a massage taster session (only £20) at Synergy Studio. Just because you run does not mean you are safe from back pain, everyone must make the effort to maintain good posture and core strength. Call 0208 347 0630 to make a booking.
