Howdy All!!
Congratulations to all you hard working runners
and walkers who are still bearing the cold weather and hitting
the roads and building up the mileage! Although it’s freezing
outside your local Running Room has some hot new items to ensure
you are more comfortable during those chilly runs or walks!
Check out the new toasty brown dryline clothing which can keep
you stylish and warm right through the festive season.
We are also currently scouting for Running Room
Clinic Instructors for many of the January clinics! If you have
ever wanted to share your own personal knowledge or experiences
regarding running or walking come by the Running Room and sign
up to become a Clinic Instructor. Whether you are an experienced
runner/walker or just starting up the Running Room will help
you plan and organize a successful and fun clinic for all participants.
For all of you Secret Santas out there, our hours
are now extended to accommodate all of your shopping needs!
So this Saturday, December 15th we will be open from 9:30a.m.
until 9:00p.m. and on Sunday, December 16th we are now open
from 8:30a.m. until 8:00p.m. The Running Room elves have put
together some very festive and essential stocking stuffer packages
for all the runners/walkers on your Christmas list!
Product highlight:
Two of your favorite shoes are now at new lower
prices! The Asics Cumulus is available at $109.99 and the Asics
Nimbus is $159.99! What a steal!
Tip of the week:
So you went on a bit of a dessert binge last night
at your staff Christmas party and now your feeling a little
guilty.
The Answer – Get Speedy!!!!
The dessert didn’t offer the body any necessary
nutrients to withstand a long slow run so lets try some speed
work to work off those cookies and tarts.
Start off with a nice slow ten-minute jog to warm
up.
Find a flat surface and speed up for about 30
seconds, six to eight times, with about a two-minute recovery
jog between each interval.
Also end with a nice slow ten-minute jog to cool
down
In less then an hour you could potentially burn
about 700kcal! So don’t feel guilty when you splurge this
holiday season just get SPEEDY!!!
Upcoming events:
The Resolution Run is fast approaching,
and boy has it been popular this year! You can still register
