FENTON FITNESS TRAIL RUNS VIBRAM FIVE FINGURES FOR FITNESSFOOTWARE.COM

Vibram five fingures- by Ric Fenton 15TH JUNE 2010
 
Ive used these shoes for gym X-training, yoga classes, free running, indoor climbing, fell running and ill be taking them on holiday for sure! First off Im a competitor in 'Octathalons' which is a gym sport with cardio and weights back to back... the shoes are fantastic for the 400m run at inc 10 on the treadmill and the Step ups, ive already hit a PB in them. Climbing in them was great too. Fell running in the dry was ok but no tread made it a bit scary in the wet and i dont advise it! Free running was interesting too with balancing in 'Cat' along walls feeling sweet but I think i'll have to build up my confidence doing big 'Kong Jumps' in them as the impact is high as is the risk of injury but i did do good 2hr sessions feeling better with them each time. You do get a feeling your ankles are getting stronger which is the most important thing in Tricking. Finally, in my Yoga classes i gave them a whirl and you do feel great balance and get a bit of extra grip for deep poses without a mat. All in all very cool and i would recommend them to everyone as an addition to their sports footware collection as they are very versatile... 8/10

Beaverbrooks Charity Bikeride June 13th 2010

The group from Fenton Fitness set off from Fairhaven Lake on a cold June morning to tackle the 45mile ride around the Fylde Coast.

A stop of a Bonds Icecream and Lunch at the Egale and Child kept the cyclists going dispite the last 10 miles being completed in the pouring rain!

As a group we raised £80 for Trinty Hospice - every little helps!   

Team Fenton Fitness under the Eiffel Tower thank you to everyone who sponsored us and to the whole team who made it a great event. We have raised over £60,000 so far! 

The Twin Peaks for the British Heart Foundation

JULY 2009- Thank you to the 15 brave Trekers from Fenton Fitness who braved very hostile conditions in the Lake district to help raise money for the British Heart Foundation. Well over a 100 people and a few dogs including mine got drowned (not literally) raising over £10,000 pounds. The British summer!!!!!!

Mexico Macmillan Cancer Support Coast to Coast bike ride.

In March 2009, three of us will be joining around 60 other participants to ride over a number of days across Mexico. Starting on the Atlantic coast we will cycle through dense jungle into the cloud forests of the Sierra Madre and up to the highest point of the ride at 3,000m. This incredible challenge of strenuous climbs, long dusty roads and exciting descents, passes through a fascinating mixture of traditional and colonial cultures, before reaching the Pacific coast. The trip provides a physical and mental challenge and, as such, requires months of hard work and training. Cycling 600 kilometres cross country from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean is a huge challenge, we are working incredibly hard to ensure that we are able to complete it.

 The sponsorship that we will raise will enable Macmillan to continue our work in improving the lives of people living with cancer, and their families, by providing specialist nurses and doctors, buildings for cancer treatment and care and financial grants for patients in financial difficulties.  We are extremely proud to support Macmillan’s work in this way. We are looking for as much sponsorship as possible so if you could please donate on the following just giving web-site it would be greatly appreciated.

Fenton Fitness completes the challenge of a lifetime and cycles coast to coast from the Atlantic to the Pacific for Macmillan Cancer Support. Once again we were in a terrific group of people of all ages and ability. We would like to say thank you to all that have donated...so far, there's still time. The whole group has managed to raise a £120,000 up to now with hopefully more to come!
