Lancaster 5K Series

The first of the Lancaster 5K races takes place this Saturday the 26th May at 6:30pm from the Salt Ayre Leisure Centre in Lancaster.  There are five races during the summer with each held on the last Saturday of each month.

For those chasing Road Standard Award times, the Lancaster races provide a good opportunity to claim quick 5K results.  The course is flat, traffic free and usually has a large field.

I'll be travelling down this Saturday and will be trying to do as many in the series as possible.  If anyone wants a lift I'll be driving from the west coast and will probably leave Keswick at about 4:30pm.  Drop me a line if you're interested (iandavversdavies@googlemail.com or 07789 234788).

Full series: 26th May, 30th June, 28th July, 25th August and 29th September.

From the weekend...

A pretty busy weekend.  Keswick secured the team prize at New Dungeon Ghyll (2nd, 8th, 9th) fending off strong competition from rivals Ambleside (put in the diary for next year; brilliant race).  Carl (Bell) annihilated the competition at the Borrowdale Trial Race.  Keswick didn't do the double at Glaramara, although the same team (sans Craig) did turn out (Phil Winskill and Colin Valentine).  Borrowdale were out in force and took the top 3 places (Martin M-B, Mikey Fnning and Corny in that order).

Powerbreathe at Keswick Mountain Festival

One of our long standing members Duncan Kerr has a stand at the festival representing Powerbreathe.
If you don't know much about the system get along to see Duncan and tell him you are a Keswick AC member etc etc.  No need to say anything more Dunc will do the talking!!
You can do a test and see how good your breathing muscles are. Dunc supplies some of the worlds top athletes, in all different sports.
I have been doing a bit of testing recently and can say that you can feel the effect on your breathing muscles and inevitably if you train the muscles they will become stronger.
Anyway don't take my word for it get down there and see Duncan. I think the stand opens Friday and closes Sunday.
