Gavin’s Tour of Tameside Training Progress

Published: 8th June 2022

Only 1 week to go until the big day! I managed another solid week of training this week – around 60 miles in the bank. A highlight was winning a local 10k multi-terrain race around Dovestone Reservoir, showing the hard work in training is starting to pay off.

I have tried to get a few back-to-back days of harder running in this week, to get used to doing 4 races in 4 days for the Tour of Tameside. It was also great to get a long run of 15 miles in on Sunday morning in the hills behind Active Copley. I did this with three friends which made it more enjoyable and made it feel easier, as it allowed me to switch off rather than thinking about how far I was running (top tip!).

I will soon start to ease down to make sure I’m feeling fresh and ready to go on race day.

I hope everyone’s training is going well. And remember… ‘Don’t run to add days to your life, run to add life to your days.’

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…
