Barry's London Marathon for Cancer Research

CrossFit Harrogate member Barry Glenn is running the London Marathon this year in aid on Cancer Research. Please take the time to have a look at his message below.

 

"Hi everyone! 

Here is my just giving webpage where you can sponsor me to run the London Marathon for Cancer Research on 22 April, 2012. 

This will be my second time running the London Marathon and I am looking forward to crossing the finish line under 4hrs and 15 minutes.   As with past races, I will definitely be running for charity.  Cancer Research is a charity that I believe in and feel very strongly about.

Raising funds for Cancer Research is very important to me since I have lost a few family members to the disease over the years. I'm confident that with your help and donation, a cure can be found!

So please dig deep and donate now. Thank you!

Barry"

Throwing some shapes with James Jowsey

Some of you may have seen Rachael, Chris and Ben doing some strange looking warm up moves before training, i.e. 'throwing their shapes'. They come from James Jowsey who trains out of CrossFit 3D in Manchester.

He prescribes movements to each individual according to their own biomechanical dysfunctions. This is performance enhancement, warm up, recovery, injury pre-hab and re-hab all rolled into one.

If you are interested in booking a seesion with James let us know - if we can get enough people then he will come over to our box and save you a trip to Manchester. We can't say enough good things about this, it changes everything. If you're serious about your training you should definitely be looking into this.
