We are delighted to have the support of Heat Fitness for this year's 10K. Thanks guys.

Heat Fitness specialise in hot yoga, a yoga practice used by runners to stretch and strengthen for many years. We offer three of the world’s leading hot yoga sequences: Bikram, Fiercegrace and Absolute Hot Yoga.

What are the benefits for runners?

Hot yoga and running have an amazing synergy and the physical benefits are numerous, with the most obvious being – loosening up tight hamstrings. Each posture works on conditioning and realigning each part of your body to give you strength and flexibility, which in turn minimises the risk of injury.
If you are feeling the effects of increased training on your body, then hot yoga is a fantastic way to stretch your tight muscles. The heated room allows you to safely go deeper into each posture and the controlled breathing is a central part of the experience, with your inhales and exhales leading your movements. This is important for runners specifically because you get used to using your lungs as part of your workout. Focusing on your breath during running can also help you get through a difficult stretch of miles.
During yoga, you’ll also strengthen your feet and make them more stable to land on when you’re running. Injury prevention is so vital for runners, but we often try to run through injuries: coming along to yoga is the perfect way to ‘check-up’ on your body, focusing on your limbs, joints and muscles to make sure everything is okay. Long-term, hot yoga can prevent injuries.
In the hot yoga room, you will have to step out of your comfort zone and push yourself and these same ideals can be taken to the track or your first 10km race. Mentally, the practice of hot yoga is perfect if you are new to running or pushing yourself to the next level in your running career.
Come along and flood your body with the oxygen it needs, giving you more energy and a clear mind. Our introductory offer is 20 days of unlimited hot yoga and TRX for £20. All students and seniors get 20% off our ‘drop-in rates’ and monthly deals.

Laura GillespieHi, can you tell me what the age limit is for the under 11's, Emily was born 11/03/2007, so she is 10. However I am confused as to whether she falls into U11 or U13.
