Welcome to Novembers edition of Welfare Wednesday!

Firstly, HOW are we in November already!? Madness 🙈

Secondly, the clocks have well and truly gone back by an hour and it is now dark by 5pm - again, madness 🌚

Medal Monday 4th November

The first weekend of November was another noteworthy one for our FTRC runners. Owen ran a rapid Hayling Island 10 Miles yesterday and has the cardboard medal to prove it!? Nice work Owen :-) Sophie ran the Thorney Island trail run Half Marathon with a true sense of being by the seaside with sand and pebbles to contend with along the way. Laura also celebrated her 200th Park Run congratulations Laura! Stuart was a little further afield representing FTRC in the big apple at the NYC Marathon. Not only did Stu have a fantastic run he also blasted through his charity target for The Circle of Care. Providing emotional and financial support to the families and children with cancer. Congratulations Stuart! Keep on running and keep the medals rolling in!

Welcome back to Welfare Wednesday and our last Wednesday focusing on Women’s health. To finish the month we are focusing on the effect that a women’s Menstrual cycle has on exercise.
Now you may or may not have just read Menstrual cycle, freaked out and scrolled on but if you haven’t - THANK YOU! 

Welcome back to Women’s Health Month!

Last Friday marked World Menopause day, so this week we are focusing on what it is and raising awareness around the signs and symptoms.. there are two parts to this stage of a women’s life, perimenopause and menopause

Welcome back to Women’s health month!

This week we are shining a light on a topic that is often not spoken about - Ovarian Cancer.

This is the 6th most common type of cancer found in women, with around 7,500 women being diagnosed with it each year in the UK. The symptoms of ovarian cancer are not always obvious and therefore it is often diagnosed late.

Welcome back to women’s health month! Tomorrow is also world mental health day so this week is a combination of both…

Social media - Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and many more all have a huge impact on women’s mental health.

The Wellesley 10km Trail Run is a fantastic, flat trail race which takes place annually in the Autumn.

This race is organised jointly between the very experienced race team at Blackwater Valley runners and the Greater Rushmoor Nepali Community group.

17 of our club runners took to the trail this year and with weather conditions perfect for running, we were joined by runners from all over the south of the UK with a full capacity 630 in attendance.

Welcome to Octobers edition of welfare Wednesday, this month we will be focusing on Women’s health, covering a range of topics.

The first topic on women’s health is the most common type of cancer in women in the UK - Breast cancer.

Breast cancer is when abnormal cells in the breast begin to grow and divide in an uncontrolled way and eventually form a growth. Each year around 55,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer.

For our last week on heart health we are taking a look at blood pressure readings. It is important to check your blood pressure regularly to ensure you are not at risk of high blood pressure.

Keeping your heart healthy means adopting a range of different lifestyle habits, not only do these keep your heart healthy day to day, it also helps to reduce your risk of developing any heart problems in the future.

So, what can you do to help yourself❓
