Feels Like Summer Again!
What great weather we had again for practice this past Saturday. It was great that the whole team could come-together again for what might be our last Roller Ski of the Fall.
The weather this week looks great for our practice times, so it's full speed ahead!
Wednesday – Pole Running (BRING HEADLAMPS!!!)
Meet at the Palace at 5:15PM so that we can play a quick game with what little light remains. By 5:45PM we will get running (with poles and headlamps) off onto the Hardwood Trails.
We will Pole Run for about 45min, then return to the Teaching Flats for a few quick circuits or two of favourite strength training exercises👍
Practice will run until 7:00PM
Saturday – Back at Hardwood
We will be back at Hardwood again on Sunday for more adventures in the forest. Bring WALKING POLES as we are going to do more fun Team Relays as part of the practice. We will then make our way back to the Teaching Flats and finish-off with our favourite game - Soccer Baseball!
Practice will run until just after 11:30AM
- Be active every day, get enough sleep and be sure to always eat healthy
- Running – Try for 20-30min. Start easy, but find some hills if you can!
- Cycling – Try for 45-60min, either on-road or off-road
- Fun at Recess – Play Basketball, Touch Football, Grounders, or just about anything that has you moving and jumping
- Strength Training – Try some of the exercised HERE that we do at practice on your own. These can all be done either inside or outside and I would encourage everyone to try to do one additional Run/Strength session each week. Perhaps each Monday combine them with a run in your local park or forest!
- Be sure to keep working on your mobility either through stretching, yoga, pilates, etc. There are LOTS of great resources online
