Did you know?... Running...

• Helps you live longer
• Burns calories - An intense run can burn up to 920 calories (men) and 740 calories (women)
• Builds stronger bones - Resistance training is good, but running helps build the muscle that lower-impact workouts ignore
• Helps with High Blood Pressure
• Gives you an energy boost - Feeling sluggish? Try going for a jog instead of lounging on the couch
• Helps you sleep better
• Strengthens your core
• Helps reduce the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease - People who run for just 5 - 10 minutes a day can reduce their risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. For those already hitting the recommended physical activity guidelines (that’s 150 minutes of moderate - intensity activity each week), an extra spurt of exercise can lower your risk of heart disease even further
• Improves stamina - Running regularly will improve stamina - making workouts more enjoyable and productive
• Helps you accomplish a goal - There’s nothing better than the feeling of being able to accomplish a goal after months or years of hard work. Running provides you with infinite opportunities to challenge yourself

We can help you make the impossible possible – so get out your running shoes and start thinking about raising money for your chosen charity!
