Gavin’s Tour of Tameside Training Update

Published: 31st May 2022

Wow, that’s come round quickly, only 3 weeks to go until the Tour of Tameside (TOT) 2022! I will be tackling the full Tour this year which consists of 4 gruelling races in 4 days, running a total of 32 miles. Due to injury and a global pandemic, the last time I completed the full TOT was in 2018, so I’m itching to get on the start line this year and hopefully be injury free!

Training has been going really well. I have managed an average of 50-60 miles of running per week, which has consisted of 2 interval sessions at my local running club, East Cheshire Harriers, one long run and the rest have been easy running days.

I have recently run personal best times over 5k, 10k and half marathon distances, so I’m really enjoying my running at the moment and I am in good form. I’m just hoping for 2 more weeks of consistent training until I ease down one week out from the big day – looking forward to seeing many of you out there enjoying the first stage of the Tour in 3 weeks’ time!

And remember… ‘Don’t fear moving slowly forward, fear standing still!’

My family experienced the Hyper Bowling last week. My children absolutely loved it and wouldn’t stop talking about it, it was such great fun & good how any age can win. I was impressed by the price and how clean everywhere was…

The staff! I’d still use Active Hyde’s gym if the facilities were rubbish and the price was high. There is always a cheerful person on hand to provide help and advice, both on site and on the phone.

10/10 great facilities and location. Excellent instructors and friendly staff.

Janet

The gym and reception staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, always happy to assist… I would highly recommend the gym to anyone who is looking for a friendly, professionally run gym with a great atmosphere that caters to all ages and abilities.

I am grateful to the staff at Tameside Wellness Centre for understanding my difficulties, especially since they are invisible. But believing and supporting and being kind to me has made me more determined to continue with my passion for life and remaining active as best as I can…
