Week Two

Beginners session
Great to see you all back and welcome to Gill and Margaret. I hope we didn't scare you off! Thanks to those who let me know they couldn't make it...if you want to keep up with the group just repeat the "homework" a couple of times and of course remember that cross training, any feedback/ issues please just get in touch with me.

You all did really well last night, everyone is progressing at their own pace. 3.63 miles in total and some core work too. Homework is to just get out and run steadily for about twenty minutes after a warm up walk putting in your walk breaks where you need to. Remember to walk to cool down and your stretches....the latter were a bit rushed last night due to my less than perfect time keeping so we will go over them in more detail next week. It is a little way off yet but we shall need head torches before too long so keep a look out for a bargain...ebay? Keep up the good work and see you next week.

Grovelling apologies for the late start last night...it was those beginners fault, they just wanted to keep going, I couldn't rein them in! Short sprints and a pleasant run on a lovely night. Thanks to all and a goodbye to Paul for the time being. GOOD LUCK to all running at the weekend...may the force be with you all and please take a photo or two!!

The T shirts have arrived and look great until the spelling mistake is noticed (on the back)! Luckily they can be returned and more are on order once they decide whose fault it is...luckily I kept the proof they sent which was correct when I checked it so my money is on the printer.....More Mile have agreed to let us wear them this weekend at various events, wash and return with the others next week.

Insect watch:- both groups we shall still on occasion be going off road so please take precautions for tick/ horsefly bites and of course the midge.

New beginnings

Welcome ( back) to a new session of running with inveraray jogscotland. It was fantastic to see so many people keen to go for it... And go for it you did. Well done both groups but intermediate group watch out... Katy says it was easy so will get my thinking cap on..... It was good to finally meet you Katy and welcome to the group. As discussed last night I keep in touch though the blog and facebook so please do join the group there. The aim is to use the page as a way of support for you all to meet up and run together, motivate each other, share tips, routes, aches, moans, advice etc etc. Comments here on the blog also welcome.

Homework. The best way to stay motivated is to do this together with a friend.
Five to ten minutes brisk walk to warm up
Repeats of jog then walk for about twenty minutes
Cool down five ten minutes walk then stretches
Any soreness beyond tired muscles especially if one sided
R rest
I ice ( ten minutes only and oil your skin first to prevent burning)
C compression- strap if appropriate.
E elevate when possible.

Cross train at least once if possible.. This can be anything at all, Zumba, cycle, walking, swimming, circuits etc.

Final word:- we meet whatever the weather barring ice... So I shall be there even in the heaviest of downpours!

Insect watch:- both groups we shall still on occasion be going off road so please take precautions for tick/ horsefly bites and of course the midge.
