Saunders Mountain Marathon
Congratulations to all the BodyFit Runners who competed in the Saunders Mountain Marathon on the 5th July. These included Anita Barker and Julie Norman (Harter Fell Class), Mike Harrison, Ange Jackson, Lewis Taylor, Mel Bradley, Jennie Chatterley and Sam Ayers (all on the Kirkfell Class). The Saunders is a two day event which involves navigation in the fells whist carrying enough kit for overnight camping and food for two days. As you can see, the weather on day two was challenging to say the least. Sam and Jen were the first women's team in the Kirkfell Class.

BodyFit 5K Race Results...
A big thank you for turning out tonight and competing in the BodyFit 5K Race. It was fantastic to see so many people joining in... especially with the downpour immediately before the start! Some very positive people said they were thankful because it cooled them down!
Many thanks as ever, to all the marshals, helpers, time keepers (and suppliers of cake) who all gave their time and energy so that you could all compete in the race. Please make sure that you thank them when you next race.
Also a big congratulations to all those from my beginner's running class who successfully completed their first 5K race. Well done.

Duncan completes his first marathon
Congratulations to Duncan Lightfoot who has just raced his first marathon in a time of 3:58:14 hours. Duncan did the first ever Brighton Marathon and thoroughly recommends it to anyone contemplating the distance. The race was very well organised and the support from the locals was fantastic. The photo was taken at 18.5 miles... and Duncan is looking incredibly fresh - well done! Duncan was helped with his marathon training by Sam. Contact for more information on achieving your fitness goals.

Marathon training starts
Sam, Tracy Park, Hazel Davies, Sue Ryding and Duncan Lightfoot are hard at marathon training. Hazel will be racing her first Marathon in early March and has chosen the Barcelona Marathon. Duncan is also doing his first Marathon which will be Brighton in April. Tracy and Sam are doing the London Marathon on Saturday 25th April, both have a 'Championship Start' which means they'll be off very near the front and not get caught up in the crowds - so no excuses! Hazel, Sam and Tracy train together on Thursdays at 10.45am.
If anyone of roughly similar speed would like to join them, contact .
