It's time to get into running shape. Running is a great way to stay active, improve your fitness so you can improve your sporting life and just be a "gym class hero." Just because running is only a few days a week at school doesn't mean you can't run other days. You can run with your friends or family...if you are really fast, they can bike ride as you run. We have a fun run against Dr. Hamilton coming up in a couple weeks. We need to focus on "keeping" running. Go as fast as you can without stopping. It may sound odd, but if you are new to running you need to keep moving. If you want to walk, you can walk with the Seniors at Kildonan Place. Sprinting or racing at run club is not encouraged unless you have already finished your distance and you want to challenge someone. Our last run was 3 kms. The goal is to keep running, then as the distances become longer your Cardio will improve, then you can increase your speed. Always hydrate with water before you get to school and eat at by 7:45 am(at the latest) based on Run Club starting at 8:30 am...as we warm up until 8:45 am. Also, make sure you have the proper shoes (this isn't skateboard club, volleyball or basketball), running shoes with cushion. We spend all sorts of money on sports equipment but sometimes forget getting shoes for Run Club. You will be faster and it will be easier to run.
We'll see you at the next practice...feel free to run, do sumo squats, body planks or any other exercise that works with your legs, core or cardio.
Run Hard and Have Fun!
enthused!
