Dear All,
For all of you who have thought you should stretch more, now’s your chance!
A stretch class for runners will be held at Macclesfield Leisure Centre on Wednesday 16th December. Mike Honey and Judith Cooper (from the Trinity Practice in Macclesfield) will be sharing their knowledge. This is available to any Macclesfield Harrier who would like to attend. The aim of the session is to educate and demonstrate a number of useful stretches for runners. This workshop is also a chance to ask questions and an opportunity to improve performance.
The main topics will be:
Introduction with Q&A (30mins)
Physiology
Why you are stretching?
Why warm up?
What would put you at risk?
Gains to stretching?
Hot or cold?
Over stretching - we all do it!
Warm up session
A jog around the block (10 - 15mins)
Stretch session (35-45mins)
Road test
Planning your own programme
Helping individuals perform the correct stretch exercises and answering questions.
The session is in the Activities Suite at Macclesfield Leisure centre for 6:30pm to 8pm on Wednesday 16th December.
Numbers – The aim is to have a maximum of approx 20 participants - if over subscribed there is the option to put on a second session in the New Year. The cost for this workshop is purely for the room, which will be split equally. The cost will be around £2.00.
If you would like to attend, I need confirmation by email you are definitely available (j.falkner@ntlworld.com). The first 20 are guaranteed a place.
Thanks
Jon
