Rotterdam Marathon 2009

I hope you had a wonderful week-end, watching either the Paris or Rotterdam marathon (or both -_^). Something big happened in Rotterdam on Sunday, with 2 runners finishing in the amazing time of 2:04:27, third ever performance, one second away only from Gebreselassie's last world record of 2:04:26 in 2007. For a short story, please read the science of sport blog.

Amicale Jogging Club T-shirts

Here is the great news for our members: AJC technical T-shirts for just 5€.

For those who were still hesitating or waiting to see how they'd look like, the pictures (without logo). There will be a small logo printed on the chest and a bigger one on the back. It will look like the Run4Fun logo without the "run4Fun" text.

For women:

For men:

Please, let us know, if you would be interested in buying such a T-shirt, by sending an e-mail, even if you did already responded to the previous e-mail, because we now need the exact size, our appologies), before April 23rd, indicating if you want a men or women shirt, and specifying the size. Please confirm your order by transfering the money to the Amicale Jogging Club account, indicating your name and AJC T-shirts:

The T-shirts are sponsored by the AJC. Hence, only members can benefit from this offer (It is still time to pay your membership fees). Each member can use the AJC subsidy only once. If you want several T-shirts, the additional shirts will have to be paid at their cost price (which will be precisely determined later, it depends on the number we order, most likely between 16 and 20 euros).

Now a few words about the sizes. The available sizes are the following:

- Men: S, M, L, XL, XXL
- Women: 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46

FYI, the men sizes are not slim fit. So if you are used to M in normal, life, go for M with theses T-shirts.

For women, be aware that the given sizes look to me as French sizes. Hence, the 36 is indeed, extra small. To help you making your decision, please find the following converrsion table:
36: 84-87 cm (chest size)
38: 88-91 cm
40: 92-95 cm
42: 96-99 cm
44: 100-103 cm
46: 104-107 cm

Cécile again in marathon best 50 !

In the February issue of the Dutch edition of Runner's World the "Nationale Marathonranglijst 2008" was published, the list of best marathon results in 2008. This list contains the names of the best male and female runners, resident in the Netherlands. In 2008 443 men and 648 women ran the marathon in less than 3 resp. 4 hours.

In the top 50 women we find our own Cécile Vanier who ran the Marathon des Alpes Maritimes Nice-Cannes in November in 3.13.48. Thereby Cécile improved her time of last year by almost 5 minutes and her ranking in the "Marathonranglijst" by 10 places !!
Again an outstanding result ! Congratulations Cécile !
(Unfortunately the time mentioned in the list is wrong; with her time Cécile is 35th).

Cécile is not only a member of the Amicale Jogging Club, see is also a running coach for other EPO running addicts.
If you want to benefit from Cécile's talent, check the Jogging Club calendar to particpate in her Run4Fun (together with Wim van Klompenburg) or Core Stability course. Both beginning and more experienced runners are welcome.
