Running club gets up and running!

Today, our running club got underway!
The big build up to our Glasswater 1k and 5k on Friday 8th May.
Despite the weather, the children showed great determination and enthusiasm as they took part in running skills and drills through games, shuttles and relays in the hall.
There were lots of red faces and we even had to get the hall windows open as the condensation from the body heat stated to build up.
We discussed the importance of warming up properly and fuelling our bodies so we have enough energy to complete a 5k course.
The session also focused on running technique, helping the children understand the need to pace themselves and find a steady rhythm.
We explored different strategies to improve running performance, including engaging the arms and core, and thinking carefully about foot placement. It was a positive and energetic start to the club, and we’re looking forward to building on these skills in future sessions.
