As part of the education week in Runavík, Roysnið is organising several interesting events. The most intriguing is a lecture by Magni Mohr, which takes place in the canteen at Løkshøll on Saturday at 13:00. He has titled the lecture “Basic principles of physical training, especially running”, and for runners this is a welcome opportunity to learn more about the thing we enjoy so much.
Magni Mohr is no ordinary speaker. For the past 15 years he has carried out research at the University of Copenhagen and at Exeter in England. His research has focused above all on work and exercise physiology, in connection with the physical performance of elite athletes. In this field Magni has written more than 60 scientific papers as well as three books. He has also worked for the Danish national football team, Juventus and Chelsea.

The event is free. Coffee and tea, as well as something to eat, will be available to buy during the event.
But already on Saturday morning, from 10:00 to 12:00, members of Roysnið will be running on treadmills in the tent outside Orkis in Glyvrar, just above the church. Here you can guess how far the runners manage to run in total, and there will be an exciting prize for whoever comes closest to the correct figure. Roysnið will also be selling coffee and cake in the tent.
On Sunday morning at 9:00 the usual Sunday club run is on the programme. The meeting point is the sports hall, and of course everyone is welcome to come along.
