Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine after yesterday’s rain! It looks like it will stay sunny for our run tomorrow (Monday, April 27, at 6.00pm), so we hope to see you at the Large Pavilion in Stewart Park.
- Please remember to bring water, and perhaps a small snack for afterwards.
- We start with introductions as we do some dynamic stretches, then a short brisk walk before the workout.
This week our run/walk intervals are even, so our workout will be 5 x (2 min run / 2 min walk). For those of you that want to look at the whole plan, please click here.
Please remember that if you are coming along to the Monday group workouts, you need to register via Webscorer so that you can sign our group runs waiver. If you are just following along with the plan but exercising individually, you don’t need to register via Webscorer.
See you tomorrow!

Thanks for being great company on a lovely sunny evening everyone!
We talked a little bit about some useful items to have to hand as a runner’s first aid kit, so here’s a list of some recommended items to get you started:
- Band-Aids - good for the two most common runner injuries: blisters, and grazes from falling over! Have a variety of sizes and shapes because knees, elbows and feet are all awkward shapes.
- Alcohol wipes - to clean any scrapes.
- Antiseptic ointment
- Antihistamine ointment/tablets - to help with bites/stings, plant attacks, and in case of sudden pollen attacks
- Painkillers - but don’t use these to mask mechanical running pain. If something is hurting that much when running, it’s time to stop and work out what’s going on.
- Anti-chafe goop - you’d be surprised how many places can chafe as the weather warms up…
- Sunscreen - look for the sports versions which won’t be easily affected by sweat
- Bug spray
- Tick remover tool (remember to check your crevices after your run
)
- Heat/cold packs
- Foil blanket
- Quick calories - keep a couple of gels or easily digested candy in the pack to help with blood sugar levels
Keeping these things in your car is a great idea so that you can immediately treat anything before heading home. If you’re heading out on a very long run, particularly on the trails, it is also a good idea to carry a mini first aid kit and a foil blanket with you just in case.
Hope the week’s workouts go well and see you next Monday!
