Running Technique:
Do you want to run faster, be more efficient and subsequently enjoy your running more?
Using the latest technology we will film you running so you can see what you look like. Using this feedback system we will develop your running technique using a variety of drills and verbal cues so you can feel what it is like to run well and therefore practice it while out running yourself.
By increasing the distance of your running you may just be increasing your chances of injury. Make sure that you are running properly before your ramp up your training.

Trig-Bagging
What a start to the trig bagging competition! Bonus points to Matt Sherwood for being the first to put points on the board, hitting the trig on top of Sugarloaf at 12.15am on 1 June, opening day of the CP trig bagging season.
Remember, you have till 31 July to bag as many trigs as you can. It's a great reason to get yourself off the beaten track, and perhaps visit some spots you have never been too. If you need to know more about these elusive trig things, and where to find them, have a look here:
There will be prizes/very exclusive bragging rights for the most trigs, most adventurous trig, and I suspect a few more categories may find their way in. (most trigs on a single outing is one that springs to mind!)

Training Tip:
Exercising in the cold.
The conditions at Sunday’s marathon were freezing! I was surprised to read comments from the winners of the marathon and half marathon saying they were ‘tempted to wear tights’ and almost ditched their racing singlet for a long sleeve top. I couldn’t imagine running in a singlet and short shorts in temps below zero degrees! Why were they wearing shorts? Find out here. |
