Dear Mike Wenn,
My name is Gavin Burt, I’m a club runner with the Serpentine and the Mornington Chasers running clubs, and I run a sports injury clinic in North London, Backs and Beyond (www.backsandbeyond.co.uk). I specialise in running injuries and have recently set up a free online resource for injured runners called the www.runninginjuryoracle.com which I thought might be of interest to you and your club members.
Just as a brief introduction, the www.runninginjuryoracle.com is an online service that gives injured runners the advice they need to get back on their feet. It helps them figure out what their injury is and then offers expert instructions and videos tailored to their specific injury that will aid their recovery. The www.runninginjuryoracle.com is featured on the serpentine running club’s website (http://www.serpentine.org.uk/pages/advice_health.html), and has been used by Runners World for their injury pages.
I personally created all the content and recovery plans based on my 15 years’ experience as a runner's Osteopath treating the numerous injuries that plague all of us. It’s a website where injured runners can quickly and easily get accurate, professional advice that they could trust and that would help get them on the road to recovery, whether they are just starting out or have been running for years. Runners can access the site and all its content absolutely free of charge.
I have attached a flow diagram that shows you exactly how the site works. Please feel free to try it out before recommending it to your runners!
I hope you will see the www.runninginjuryoracle.com as a useful tool for your runners and that you will share it with them either on your website or in your regular newsletters. If you do decide to have a link on your website, I have attached a thumbnail for you to use that will make it easily visible to those visiting your site.
Many thanks for your time and consideration, and of course if you have any questions please do call me on the number below, or email me at gavinburt@hotmail.com.
