I work at our local YMCA in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia CANADA! Woo
We have a clinic we run a couple times a year called "Learn to Run." We have a couple of great people who teach you how to run, starting out small, and ending in celebration.
Unfortunately with my scedule (and cowardness lol) I didnt get to take it.
But lucky for me, a friend is now showing a bunch of us the ropes she learned when she did it!
And I want YOU to do it to!
Im going to post our sets/times weekly and want you to follow along at home, and soon we will all be doing races!
)
First week:
We did 10 sets of 1 minute walking and 1 minute running. Start with a warm up walk 2-5 mins and cool down with a 2 min walk.
Aim for 3 times during the week!
Week 2:
Here is where I am right now!
Start with a warm up walk 2-5 mins and cool down with a 2 min walk.
Last night we did 7 sets of 1 minute walking, 2 minutes running!
Ill be posting about getting in my other 2 days worth!
Whos with me?!?!
