New Years day 2012, Chariots of Fire is the midday afternoon film once more soothing your festive hangover and slowly a memory emerges from the night before, a memory of a cast iron New Years resolution you made - to run a marathon – because “if you are going to take up running for fitness it has to be the marathon” and as you reflect you agree with your previous logic and think, ‘Yeah, why not?’

… either way and quite literally as Bob Dylan once sung ‘Times, they are a changin’ and as a runner this darkened running sunglasses we now wear on each evening run is a chance to accept the lost visual stimulation and instead embrace the natural tendency to run slightly more introverted when minus the sun’s...

DDB Run Club member wins July's LGN 1km
LGN's 1km Loop prize winners have come from several different LGN Run Clubs in 2011 and July was no different as DDB UK provided the very deserving winner.

Many thanks to the staff at Runners Need...

LGN say - Kip for victory!
Sleep plays a vital role in repairing the body, from the wider health implications of improved immune system to running specific tissue repair. Much of this repair is via the human growth hormone production and since the largest human growth hormone surge occurs during sleep, it is vital for runners of all abilities and aspirations to get plenty of it.
