Decided to help with running club where I work (a school). Ran a mile cross country course for the warm up, did some dynamic stretching then 400m, 200m and 100m
Really good fun to run with other people even if they were all built like racing ferrets! Also good to not be focussing so much on longer times and distance and to just enjoy a quickish sprint.
Sounds like great fun...you had a gentle warm up too... and then some bursts of speed
I love trying new things and it does shake things up a bit... I seem to remember a running experiment I did which involved weighted paper cups, measuring out 100m intervals across in my back fields..( need to look at my past posts...
I might have a go at some mixed up distances now... thanks for that
That sounds good. It's easy to get caught up in the title of each run and obsess about time run for etc and I was concerned that I would feel a bit direction less after graduation. I'm up to week 8 run 2 and am looking forward to doing the stepping stones program but also I want to encourage the less sport orientated kids at school to give running a go. Hopefully if they see Miss having a go they will too!
The lady who runs it is fairly awesome at running so hopefully some top tips will come my way plus all the brilliant advice on here!
Sounds like a great situation.... I remember the happy school days well..it is so true, if they see us do it, then it must be okay....
My daughter teaches in London. She also leads on PE and Healthy Living...... last week the children and staff were all involved with a healthy eating and fitness focus, eg plank challenge for my daughters class of 8 year olds. (The challenge was doing a plank not length of time! ) Then several members of staff including DD ( - well done Miss) finished friday evening with a 5k very hot run.
Also some schools now do a daily mile run 😀🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻🏃🏻♀️
I so misread that Floss! Was picturing you running in a ginormous cup😂
Well.. I have been known to do very odd things!!!!
short sprints are great fun (apart form while doing them, obvs) and doing something that isn't long slow distance is a great way of relieving the monotony.
At Crossfit we do quite a lot of short runs, but as part of circuits, so 40 Wallballs, 12 weightlifting variants then a 1200m run, repeated 3 times. or 400m runs in between similar exercises repeated 8 times or whatever. It amazes me just how hard it is to run when you are gassed out from other exercise. I have been on my knees on 400m runs quite often. You think "its 400m how can I be unable to do this?" But that is whats fun about keeping your training varied.
Sounds like you had a great time.
