Boobydoo - Many women are still unaware that unrestricted breast movement during exercise can permanently stretch the ‘Coopers Ligament’ in the breast, causing the breast to sag. This stretching effect can be minimized by wearing the correct SPORTS BRA or supportive top. Booby Doo are specialist internet mail order suppliers of leading British and American sports bras that can help to prevent the damaging stretching of the ligament. No one would consider taking part in any sport or exercise without adequate equipment, i.e. safety headgear whilst riding or mountain biking, proper training shoes whilst running etc. Correct support bras are essential for the long term wellbeing of active women.  www.boobydoo.co.uk

www.purplepatchrunning.com - We believe that running, at every level, should be challenging, achievable and enjoyable.  All too often, however, we get caught up in the day to day stresses and strains of fitting in runs, staying motivated, finding new routes, finding new running partners, achieving times, etc.  At the end of the day, however, we feel better when we run than when we don’t so don’t let these niggles put you off your stride…...We at Purple Patch strive to offer you that extra something.  Not ‘just a running weekend’ but a quality, informative, engrossing, fun weekend.  Not ‘just coaching’ but targeted, innovative, personalised guidance.  Racing events that challenge all your senses, not just your stopwatch (or wallet!). There is no better way to make sure that the time and effort you spend training is effective and appropriate than one-on-one Coaching.  For a small monthly amount (about the same amount as you spend on your newspapers!) you can have a personalised programme and ongoing support & advice via email, telephone or face to face. We look forward to hearing from you …..Chris & Claire  www.purplepatchrunning.com
