Today’s Boot Camp

Tonight we started preparation towards our 10km run target with  2-3 laps of the park.   We are going to build up the distance over the coming months to avoid the risk of injury.

Saturday’s Boot Camp

Saturday’s boot camp will be held at Chouet at 10 am.

Anaemia explained (part I)

Anaemia is the consequence of having an insufficient number of red blood cells, which results in being unable to transport sufficient oxygen around the body.  The outcome of this is tiredness and, in the case of sports people, lack of performance. 

Anaemia develops if the body lacks certain vitamins and minerals, in particular iron, Vitamin B12 or folic acid (Vitamin B9). These vitamins and minerals are needed in order to produce sufficient red blood cells.  Anaemia is more common in women, particularly those that have a diet low in iron, who smoke or who have heavy periods.  Sports women are also more susceptible to anaemia.
