The Latest from Billy Cramp-Up / Local Coach and Adviser 01 June 2007

   STRETCHING       

   Billy says stretching is essential especially as we get older. It's Vital we stretch before racing , not like those articles

 state in them expensive running comics . The rubbish i've read recently about not stretching is totally unbelievable , who

writes them silly articles for them comics. I bet it's some know it all in a white lab coat. Scientist ? What do they know.                 

I say you can't beat the knowledge of a wise old fellow runner . So i 100% insist that stretching before a race is paramount

especially as we get bigger in those later years because if you don't stretch your clothing , it's going to chaff like hell. 

 So get them vests and shorts thoroughly stretched out.

 Billy hopes this clears everything up on stretching and he has booked his table for the 30th anniversary of Thirsk and

Sowerby Harriers social evening. Hopefully he'll be reporting on this big night out.

   Hopefully we will have more valuable information from Billy Cramp-up next week.
