Julian House's funding manager Cecil Weir is again raising moneyfor the charity by taking part in the Nationwide Bath Half Marathon.
This will be Mr Weir's eighth half marathon and, to make sure hegets round the course, he has been kitted out by specialist shop Running Bath, based in The Corridor.
"I have to confess that I was one of those people who didn't paymuch heed to footwear," said Mr Weir.
"Then someone encouraged me to look at how I was running which iswhy I would recommend anyone thinking about new shoes to see theteam at Running Bath. They have equipment which monitors how anindividual's foot strikes the ground.
"Given that you take about 34,000 strides during a half marathon,even a little correction is going to make things easier on thebody."
This will be the seventh year Julian House has taken part in thehalf marathon, with a team of more than 70 runners taking part inMarch's event.
Although public entries for the Nationwide Bath Half have allgone, Julian House has a number of places still available.
Mr Weir said an important tip for runners was to keep the body'sfluid levels up.
"Although the event organisers provide several drinks stations onthe route, little and often is the best way to stay hydrated," hesaid.
"For the 2008 event we will be offering the option of a Hillywater bottle belt which means runners can keep their hands free forrunning and sip their drink as they run."
