Be Strong, Be Determined, Be iNVNCBL

Here at iNVNCBL we pride ourselves in working with some of the best people in the industry and our latest recruit is no exception. Our warm ups are an integral part of our challenges, and who better to ensure we get you off to the best start than this guy!

Taking over Parc Penallta on October 17th, we are excited to announce a new partnership with Wales’ leading Radio Station, Nation Radio. Their ‘Big Welsh Wake Up’ hosts Niall and Danny will be MCing on the day and treating our runners to a whole new OCR music experience. A high intensity mix of sounds will keep the runners energised as they are led through their warm up, then as they head to the start line the runners will be immersed in the atmosphere inspiring everyone to channel their adrenaline into a strong and positive start!

Listen out for us on Nation Radio ‘Recommends’ over the next two weeks.

Between now and race day we’ll be posting regular event news and course updates on facebook and twitter, so don’t forget to pay us a visit.

In the meantime…be strong. be determined. be invncbl.

We are delighted that we have been selected as an official qualifier for the Active OCR World Team Championships.

Everyone who crosses the finish line at Parc Penallta on the 17th October has the chance to take part in the World Team Championships (WTC)  in September 2016. This is the first time that the event comes to the UK and you can be part of it. Anyone from elites to fun runners can compete.

SO HOW DO I QUALIFY?

The top 25 finishers  from our elite wave will be eligible to take 3 runners and compete in the elite wave of WTC. Everyone else in the remaining open waves who finish the race will also be able to take a team of 4 and compete in one of the other divisions.

This is a fantastic opportunity to run in the UK alongside some of the best OCR athletes in the world.

We have always said that having a big ego won’t get you very far in this sport and everyone has a mutual respect for each other, whether you are coming first or last. We believe this sums up the WTC ethos perfectly;

‘those that start together, finish together, OCR united’.

No iNVNCBL experience would be complete without our trademark warm up.

In order to tackle any of our courses you need to be prepared and no better way than with the help of our brand spanking new warm up crew!

Gareth and Mikey run Obstafit, an outdoor training facility in Cardiff dedicated to providing quality OCR training and bootcamps. Gareth has a blackbelt in kickboxing and is a former Welsh Amateur Full Contact Kickboxing Champion. His brother Mikey has an equally impressive sporting resume. A former International Sprint Cyclist, competing against the likes of Geraint Thomas and Chris Hoy and not to mention the proud owner of a British Sprint Silver medal. Both are Level 3 Personal Trainers but importantly OCR addicts!

Welcome on board lads!

With our Parc Penallta event just 12 weeks away your thoughts will no doubt be turning to the need for some serious training and perhaps some proper OCR kit.

We thought we’d give you a nudge in the right direction with the launch of our new sportswear range and online shop. We’ve been working closely with our official event supplier Classic Sportswear to develop some key pieces that will see you through the toughest gym sessions and the demands of event day. You’ll find everything from base layers to compression shorts, training vests and hoodies with new lines regularly being added.

Team T-shirt Printing and Design Service

We also offer a bespoke design and printing service for those of you taking part individually or as a team. Select you Tee, team colours, slogan or picture and we’ll do the rest!

Our iNVNCBL  faded tee and soft shell jacket already have the seal of approval from Wales Internationals; Jamie Roberts, Ken Owens and Luke Charteris, who have been trying them out for size this week whilst away at training camp in Doha, Qatar.

The Online Shop goes live this week so look out for announcements on Facebook and Twitter…

Check out our  video highlights from Margam Park.

If you’ve ever taken part in an OCR, gone for a long run or endured a heavy gym session (soaking through a cotton tee in the process!) then you’ll no doubt be familiar with that undesirable chafing sensation! That’s why It’s important to ‘wick’ as much moisture away from your body as possible. Unfortunately cotton acts like a sponge when wet, absorbing up to 7% of its weight in water. Compare that to moisture wicking fabrics which are comprised of high-tech synthetic polyester blends, which absorb only 0.4%.

Here at iNVNCBL we’ve been working in conjunction with Classic Sportswear to bring you our short sleeve Finishers Tech Tee!

It utilises the latest technology which ensures it’s both high wicking and quick drying. The mesh ventilation inserts and backing help to keep you cool, and wick sweat away, ensuring you remain dry and comfortable.

Our tee can be worn as part of your layering system or worn on its own. The relaxed fit of the tee is designed so as not to restrict your movement, perfect for hauling yourself over those incline walls!

Want one? All you have to do is finish….
