@GryffeAds www.advertizer.co.uk july 2017 Presentation to DEBRA Following the 2017 10K run Gryffe Valley Rotary Club has donated the sum of £2000 to DEBRA – the charity which supports children and young people with the skin disease Epidermolysis Bullosa . A cheque was presented by President Peter Dickie to Jaye Hamilton from the charity at the Club meeting on June 7th. This sum was raised from the profits on entry fees and from the sponsorship of a number of runners including Peter Dickie our President and Iain Carrick who is a friend of Rotary. Defibrillator at Birkmyre Park Fitness Gym The new AED is located on the wall outside our reception at Birkmyre Park Fitness Gym. It is stored in a locked cabinet. The AED is accessible to everyone at all times in the event of an emergency. To access the Defi brillator, the person would call 999 to receive the code to open the cabinet. When the cabinet is opened the defibrillator is easy to use as it communicates all user instructions to inform the user how to use it. We were able to purchase the Defibrillator thanks to the fundraising generosity of our gym members and staff, local residents and donations from the Kilmacolm Community Council and Rotary Club. I ran the 2016 Great Scottish Run Half Marathon and all sponsorship raised from that went towards the fundraising. We also sold left over Kilmacolm Running Festival t-shirts for £1 with all proceeds going to the fundraising as well. I would personally like to thank everyone for their kind donations. It is really appreciated. Hopefully, the defi brillator never needs used but if anyone in the area ever needs it then we have one available.

When you start running, you generally start with a nice upright posture and a steady foot strike… however you don’t always finish that way as fatigue kicks in. When good form falls apart, hamstrings, quads and calves tend to take the fall fi rst! Hamstrings cramp when: • The upper body rounds forward • The lower back arches • The hips sink back • You stop utilizing the glutes • Ultimately the hamstrings are left to drive the stride alone Quads cramp when: • The foot strike becomes more like a shuffle • The hamstrings aren’t working to pick the feet up off the ground • The feet are spending more time on the ground than they are lifting off it • Essentially the quads are taking all the impact Calves cramp when: • The hips are no longer pushing forward • The feet begin striking the ground in varying positions • The calves are left to absorb all the impact As well as considering the above, 3 things you can do to help prevent cramps or help if they kick in are: • BREATHE – oxygen helps fuel the muscles. As we tire our breathing gets shallower. Focus on deeper breathing to help fuel those muscles. • RELAX THE UPPER BODY – don’t let the shoulders tense up towards your ears and don’t keep your arms rigidly bent to prevent little arm swing that helps drive the legs. Relax the upper body, give the arms a shake out and reset your arm swing, which in turn helps power the stride. • SHORTEN YOUR STRIDE – the further the foot reaches out the more the body must do to keep up. Focus on pulling the feet off the ground and a little higher and in turn this fires the hamstrings and glutes allowing the hips to drive forward.
