COVID Lateral Flow Testing Explained

By UncategorisedNo Comments
COVID testing

COVID testing

For the avoidance of any doubt, we hope to clarify the matter of testing for Covid prior to tomorrows JCP Swansea Half Marathon.

1. Firstly, we are exempt from the Covid Pass scheme.
2. We are strongly recommending that if you are participating you should take a lateral flow test and register that result on the NHS website. You may already do this through your work/educational setting but the tests can be obtained from most pharmacies or at the Race Information point located on St Helen’s RFC, Swansea today between 10am and 3pm.
2. This is also recommended if you have received both vaccines and the booster jab. This is not the PCR test that must be done by the NHS.
3. Once you have registered your result, you will receive a text message/email confirming the test status. If you test positive, please do not attend but book a PCR test online or phone NHS 119. Regardless of how well you may feel.
4. We are asking all runners to follow these rules so that we can monitor and hopefully prevent anyone testing positive from participating, risking harm to themselves and others.
5. If you do not want to take a lateral flow test, this will not exclude you from participating. However, we do want all runners to think of one and other.

We have all been through a torrid time over the last 18 months. We want to try and keep everyone safe. We are playing our part, as all staff/contractors/volunteers must provide a negative result prior to working at the event.

We would very much appreciate it if all runners would do the same.

Home Workouts for Runners

By Latest News, UncategorisedNo Comments

With all the news around COVID-19 some of you runners may feel nervous about heading outside.  We all know there’s nothing better than running with friends but it may not be right for your individual circumstances, so we’ve got some useful ideas of home workouts thanks to our training partners realbuzz.com. Try the following exercises, mix it up with some strength circuits or even use a video tutorial on YouTube – there are so many to choose from, you’ll be spoilt for choice!  But don’t forget to listen to your body, don’t overdo it and drink plenty of water when training at home!

Tabata circuit

Tabata training is a form of high intensity interval training (HIIT) that is based on 4 minute blocks. It’s a fantastic and time effective way to work on both your aerobic and anaerobic energy systems. However, there is a catch; this type of training isn’t for the faint hearted. You need to push yourself hard and not simply ‘go through the motions’ if you want to reap the benefits.

Each exercise in the circuit lasts for 4 minutes and is split into the following format:

  • Work for 20 seconds
  • Rest for 10 seconds
  • Repeat 8 times
  • Take 1 minute of rest between each different exercise.

You can even download a Tabata training timer for your phone or iPad that keeps track of time for you.  Try the following routine for a workout that will leave you feeling the burn.

Step ups

Step up onto a box, whilst, maintaining a good posture, chest up and shoulders back. Step down using the same leading leg. Alternate legs and repeat.

Mountain climber

Start in a straight arm plank position. Alternate bending your knees and bringing them forward as close to your hands as possible. Focus on keeping your back flat throughout the movement.

Burpees

Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart. Drop down into a ‘push-up’ position. Push back up and jump into a squat position. Jump with as much energy as you can into the air, raising your hands above your head to complete one rep. On landing, start the next rep straight away.

Side plank

Lie on your side with your legs straight and your ankles together. Prop your torso up with your upper arm. Lift your hips upward until your body forms a straight line from your ankles to your neck. Alternate sides for each 20 second block.

Reverse lunge

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Step one foot back directly behind your body. Bend both knees to drop into a single leg squat position. Return to the starting position and alternate legs.

Russian Twists

Sit leaning back slightly with both knees bent and your feet elevated so that you assume a ‘V position’. Hold a weighted object with both hands. (If you don’t have any dumbbells or weighted plates at home then a large bag of rice will do). Keeping your hips facing forward and your trunk fixed, rotate your upper body and weighted object to each side, turning your head as you twist.

Running Helps Swansea Girl Rediscover Her Life Beyond The Numbers… of a Type 1 Diabetic

By UncategorisedNo Comments

Natalie Holborow, aged 28, tells us her story of life as a type 1 diabetic, her running journey, and how she hopes to help Diabetes UK Cymru break the World record this June.  Natalie, a writer from Swansea, was diagnosed when she was just eight years old.

Natalie said;

“I’d been feeling unwell for a little while, then one day my dad found me drinking from the bathroom taps in the middle of the night. I was desperately thirsty all the time, which is a common symptom of Type 1 diabetes. 

“I try to be as positive as I can about life with Type 1 but it’s really hard. It can be overwhelming sometimes.  I’m always thinking about counting my carbohydrate intake, blood sugar readings and insulin units…Sometimes it’s hard to separate the person from the numbers. I just can’t remember what it’s like to eat something without worrying.

“But this is also why running is so important to me. It reminds me of what I am capable of despite all the challenges, and helps me rediscover the person behind the numbers.”

Natalie started running at aged 16 and in 2017 ran her first ever marathon in Edinburgh. She hopes her record attempt, with others (who will make up the strong team of Type 1 runners) will inspire others with the condition, as well as break down some common misconceptions.

Natalie continued;

“I hated running when I first started, but the more I did it and the further I got, the stronger I felt.  I also noticed my blood sugars were better if I ran before dinner. Now I’m proud to say I run nearly every day.

“Training for a race is hard enough without the balancing act that is Type 1 diabetes thrown into the mix. But I want to show people that it’s totally possible. If I had seen something like this when I was a frightened, newly diagnosed little girl I would have felt so much better about the future. There is so much talk about what you can’t do with Type 1 and so many horror stories in the headlines. It’s time to change that and start celebrating what we are capable of.”

Type 1 diabetes is a complex, lifelong condition where the body cannot produce the hormone insulin, which controls the amount of sugar in the blood. It affects around 19,000 people in Wales and must be carefully managed day-to-day.

Physical exercise can impact blood glucose levels; meaning people who have Type 1 diabetes must manage their insulin and blood sugar levels before, during and after exercise.

Dai Williams, National Director, Diabetes UK Cymru, said;

“Natalie’s attitude towards living with Type 1 diabetes sends an important message to others with the condition, showing that it does not have to hold you back. It’s fantastic to hear how much running has helped her to manage the physical and the emotional side of her condition and we’re delighted to have her on our team again this year.

In 2018 a team of 69 type 1 diabetics helped set the current record at the JCP Swansea Half Marathon in collaboration with OneBloodyDrop.com.  This year, they aim to beat this number by setting the World record of most type 1 diabetics to complete a half marathon together. Further to this, organisers have opened up FREE entry to the Family Dash for all type 1 diabetics in Wales under the age of 16, with the aim of inspiring the younger generation of type 1’s.

Dai, added:

“This is not just about breaking a record: we hope to inspire others and create a community of individuals like Natalie who understand the challenges of day-to-day life with Type 1 diabetes face and can support each other. We looking forward to cheering Natalie and all our runners across the finish line on 23 June.”

Diabetes UK Cymru has guaranteed charity places remaining for the JCP Swansea Half Marathon on Sunday 23 June. Places are open to everyone, so sign up and be part of a team to inspire others, where you too could be part of a World record-breaking achievement whilst raising vital funds for charity!

The JCP Swansea Half Marathon takes place on SUNDAY 23rd JUNE 2019 starting at 10 am from the iconic Brangwyn Hall, taking runners from the city centre, leading to the mumbles, along the beautiful sweeping Swansea Bay.  The course is perfect for first-timers, fun runners, charity runners and elites on its flat, fast course.  The route is well organised, fully marshalled and supported by spectators and bands to help runners on their way for a momentous finish at Swansea Museum.

For more information on the half marathon or to enter your T1 child in the family dash, visit: www.diabetes.org.uk/get_involved/fundraising-events/swansea-half-marathon or contact the fundraising team on: 0345 123 2399.

However, Wales’ victory did not detract from the tremendous support from locals cheering the runners on their way.

The race set off from Oxford Street in Swansea city centre and was started by Keith Thomas from JCP Solicitors. Welsh singing star Ros Evans sent the runners on their way by singing with the all-female Mum’s the Word adult choir and the Mumbles Youth Opera Group at the start of the race – before putting on her own running shoes and joining in the UK’s second best half marathon, as voted by runners in The 2016 Running Awards.

The race then proceeded on fully closed roads past Swansea Castle and along a magnificent six-mile stretch of Swansea Bay towards The Mumbles, with its iconic pier and lighthouse. Athletes were cheered across the finish line on Oxford Street by a lively and supportive crowd who had contributed to the all-round fantastic atmosphere of the event.

It was a day of records and achievements alongside substantial charity fundraising.

The men’s field was dominated by the Swansea Harriers, who filled the podium and five out of the top ten places. The title was claimed for the second consecutive year by race ambassador and GB International Dewi Griffiths who took a minute and ten seconds off his own course record after crossing the finish line in 01:05:38. Club mate Danal Desta completed the half marathon in a time of 01:07:01, ahead of Josh Griffiths who took third place in 01:08:43.

The women’s course record was smashed by three minutes and twenty seconds after Hannah Walker from Run-Fast secured the title in 01:14:31. Runner up Tracy Barlow from Thames Valley Harriers finished in 01:15:03 and Rachel Felton of Run-Fast claimed third place in 01:16:33.

A Family Fun Dash was introduced for the 2016 event and this proved to be a popular part of race day. Young runners and families were able to experience the thrilling atmosphere of a big sporting event in the city and cross the same finish line as the main field after a 1K run from Swansea Castle.

For the second year in a row, runners were able to benefit from a team of race pacers provided by Xempo Race Pacing in association with TomTom. It is thanks to the race pacers that many runners reported getting their speed just right and hitting their target time on the day.

The course is already flat and fast, so the presence of race pacers will really help runners to run the race they want and achieve their target times. We are looking forward to welcoming athletes and fun runners from all over the world to what is set to be a highly successful race.”

The race is flat and fast and we are looking forward to helping runners get their speed right, whether they are at the front, middle or back of the pack. Making sure everybody sets off at the right pace is one of our most important roles, as it is easy to start fast and struggle later with a long distance. We want as many runners as possible to achieve their goals and it is so rewarding to see them at the finish line having done just that.”
