Couch to 5K - Week 2

[dianahackett]

We are looking forward to seeing you tomorrow Monday, April 21, at 6.00pm. We will meet at the pavilions next to the Children’s Garden.

• Please remember to bring water, and it might be good to bring a small snack for afterwards.
• We will start off with introductions as we do some dynamic stretches, then a short brisk walk before the workout.

This week’s workout will be 6 x (90s run / 2mins walk). For those of you that want to look at the whole plan, please click here.

If you are coming along to the Monday group workouts, you will 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!

Week 2 of C25K has been kicked off with another great group! The blooming daffodils along the inlet trail were a beautiful juxtaposition to the shouting crew coaches in their boats. Have a great rest of your week and see you next Monday!

Our mini topic this week was on running etiquette and safety, which I am including here for your reference.

Running on the road:

• Run against traffic
• Wear bright colors, especially at dawn and dusk
• Run single file
• Vary your routes and times you run, let someone know where you are running and how long you think you will be gone
• Position wisely on blind curves and hills
• Wise to bring your phone in case of emergencies and share your location with a reliable person

Running on paved paths/trails/urban settings:

• “On your left” – announce your presence especially when it’s dark out and when passing others
• Don’t make people have to step off the trail if you’re running more than 1 abreast
• Downhill yields to uphill
• No speakers, when using headphones use bone conductor or only one earbud
• Use sidewalks and crosswalks
• Stay to the right

Great advice for everyone to keep in mind!
