Hope you all managed to get outside to enjoy the nice weather today! I will keep my fingers crossed that it stays nice for our run tomorrow (Monday, April 28, at 6.00pm). We will once again meet at the pavilions next to the Children’s Garden.
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 ff 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.
Hi Diana!
I’ve been unable to make the group workouts. (Two kids needed picked up at 6:00 and one needing dropped off at 6:15!) I’ve been doing them on my own. Should I email them to you?
Thanks,
Jamie
Hey Jamie!
No need to email anything to us - we are more than happy to trust you! Heather and I are here to support you and answer any questions you may have, so please feel free to reach out if we can help in anyway.
Hope the workouts are going well - if you have other times when you are doing the workouts and you would like to see if anyone else wants to join you, please feel free to post under the relevant week here on the Forum.
Cheers!
We talked a bit about some good first aid/personal care items to have to hand - I keep a small kit in my car so that if anything happens on my run, I can patch myself up as soon as possible.
Some recommended items:
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, 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 (great shout, Geoff! And everyone remember to check your crevices after your run )
Heat/cold packs
Foil blanket
You’ll be able to personalize your own kit as you get more experience, but this should set you on the right path - feel free to add any other suggestions!
