Harry started running in 2004 with his first race being the Harrogate Theatre Race. Since then Harry has completed a couple of Great North Runs and marathons in London, New York and Paris. Harry who is an active member with the Harrogate Harriers has just completed the Uk athletics level 1 coaching course. He is now looking to use the qualification to coach the social group of the club.	Chris is a member of the mighty Skyrac AC, having joined the club in 2006 after deciding to take up running out of the blue. He attempts distances ranging from 400m-1500m, with limited success. Having said this, Chris and his coaching team think the World 800m record is a realistic target for him to chase over the coming years. Watch this space!	Glen says "my running experiences on home soil started with the first London Marathon in 1980. Nowadays an active member of Harrogate Harriers, where I occupy the role of membership sec. I once considered myself to be the fastest banjo player over 10 miles in North Yorkshire; but fear this is has not been the case for some time! "	Adrian is the newest member of staff at Harrogate. Although not a member of a running club Adrian does run on a regular basis to keep fit. He has almost 18 years experience of the retail running trade. He has completed the Great North Run in 2004.

NRG Ladies Running Capri Tights

What an amazing product! These shorts are so comfortable to wear - they are indeed like a second skin. So warm - making running outside possible in chilly conditions. So stretrchy - accomodating cross training and aerobics in the gym. So cooling - the scientific nature of the fabric keeps you fresh, cool and dry allowing for greater distance. So safe - with the reflective lines. And finally so well designed - with the discreet pocket in the back. All-in-all an excellent piece of running kit.
Review Jan 2008 by a member of the local running club.

Local Runs

		Our Theatre Race route is a pretty good local run, with something for everyone. It starts in the beautiful surroundings of Harrogate's Valley Gardens. It's accessible from the Town centre, or there's good parking half-way round on Harlow Moor Road
		A great place to run if you want to get out of Harrogate and favourite with a lot of the Up & Running Staff is Swinsty and Fewston Reservoirs, 10 miles or so to the West of Harrogate. Either run round them both or when just begining running, start with Swinsty about 3 miles.
