Tempest Running Club

Tempest Running Club at Raby Castle 🏰🦌🏃‍♀️💪

Today, our members took on the Wild Deer 5K & 10K — and what a stunning venue!

With herds of deer roaming freely, beautiful trails, rolling terrain and spectacular views across the estate, it was an epic setting for a run. 🌳⛰️

A huge well done to everyone who took part and gave it their all! 👏🔥

We love a trail run here at TRC. There’s something pretty special about getting out on the trails, surrounded by nature and enjoying every step.

Another brilliant day for the Tempest crew! ⚡️

⚡ CELEBRATING NATIONAL FITNESS DAY- POWERED BY YOU on this fine Wednesday evening ⚡

For National Fitness Day, we asked our runners:

“What powers you to run?”

The answers included ❤️ friends, 🧠 mental health, 💪 strength, 😊 happiness and confidence, 📈 seeing others progress, challenging yourself and 😂 the craic.

And then there were the more unexpected answers…

🍺 Booze tokens
🧟 Zombie apocalypse survival

(Both genuinely valid 😆)

Whatever your reason, we all have our own “why”.

And that's what keeps us putting one foot in front of the other. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

What powers you? ⚡

🏃 GNR RUNNERS- CARB-LOAD OR KEEP IT NORMAL?

Race week is here… but what’s your fuelling strategy? 👀

What we want to know is...

Do you actually carb-load before a half marathon? 🍝👇

🍝 CARB-LOAD- yes... I increase my carbs in the 2-3 days before.
“Pass the pasta!”

OR

🥗 KEEP IT NORMAL- no... I just eat normally.
“Stick to what I know.”

👇 CAST YOUR VOTE
🍝 CARB-LOAD
🥗 KEEP IT NORMAL

Then tag your running mate —
which one are they? 😂


Great Run
