Sunday Run - 29th November
Sunday 29th November - Long steady run. Meet at the rear entrance to Whitelees Wind Farm at the top of Ardochrig Road (basically follow the road from the normal Harlawcrook road meeting point until you reach a T-junction, turn left and immediate first right, follow this road for a couple of miles and you will reach the entrance at the top of the hill on your right hand side). This is a lovely scenic run which is off road so a nice change to pounding the concrete. There's various options for all levels of abilities so come and join us......As ever it is a 9am start!!!! This week is a simple out & back along the Spine Road so you can go as far, or as short, as you like.

Compression
All now available at ATHelite
What they say;
2XU is the only compression brand employing a circular high guage knit fabric structure to deliver an evenly distributed 360 degree stretch compression.
IMPROVED RECOVERY
Therapeutic rated fabric provides greater pressure and recovery benefit by helping the pumping action of the cardiovascular system; removing blood lactate from exercising muscles leading to faster muscle repair.

IMPROVED CIRCULATION
Faster warm up and enhanced overall circulation. Graduated compression of the limbs actively encourages and increases venous return to the heart and lymph to the lymph nodes.

REDUCED FATIGUE
During exercise, your muscles are exposed to forces that cause vibration. This major cause of muscle fatigue, known as muscle oscillation, can be reduced when wearing compression garments. This leads to improved muscle endurance, strength and power

HEIGHTENED AGILITY
Heightened proprioception increases senses and awareness for enhanced stability and agility. Proprioception can also help with improved technique as you remain aware of your body's positioning, improving the balance control system and muscle coordination.

REDUCED DAMAGE
2XU Compression features muscle containment properties which reduce muscle damage during exercise and minimize swelling post-exercise. Additional benefits include significant reduction of exercised-induced conditions such as Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS).

2XU GRADUATED PRESSURE
2XU's graduated compression garments deliver performance benefits during and post exercise. By enhancing circulation through increased venous function, more oxygenated blood is delivered to muscles requiring it most. Furthermore, exercise induced by-products are flushed from the muscles to reduce fatigue and recovery time.

2XU DVT
Deep Vein Thrombosis is a condition that mainly affects the lower body and is associated with long periods of travel or inactivity. 2XU Compression garments enhance blood flow in these areas through enhanced venous return, reducing the risk of DVT.

2XU MUSCLE STABILITY
During exercise, muscle vibration is a large contributor to muscle fatigue and damage. 2XU Compression stabilizes these muscles, enhancing power and reducing fatigue.
