Hows the DOMS? Feeling it? A big thank you to Lyndon Chandler (Nayland Physiotherapy) for his talk on injury prevention. Some of you have been asking about specific stretches for certain areas - I will pass these onto Jo and Gaye for our session on the 7th so that they can cover in more detail - let me know if you think of any others in the interim.
Well done on a tough climb last night - always enjoyable to head high when the weather is perfect to take in the vistas. If you are a bit sore today, then consider going for a short light walk or jog to try and loosen up the muscles a bit. If you were a bit red in places (you may have felt the burn in the shower last night) then barrier cream or Rawleighs ointment often works well on chaffing - and then slop some vaseline on the areas affected before heading out next time.
Next week we will meet at the Botanics again, but it will be all flat. Just might include a bit more intensity based exercise (for those that want to). Greg Lineham from Nelson Athletics will also be coming along to go over race walking technique and how to walk faster, and we will go over basic training principles.

About the Nelson Women's Activator Series
Take part in one or more of a series of training and information sessions to get women active and involved in summer events.
Get fit and get into swimming, mountain biking, running and walking, sea swimming, road cycling, and even triathlons. There are weekly training sessions covering differing sports. Alongside these training sessions participants can attend information sessions on nutrition, how to purchase and wear the correct clothing and footwear, and stretching and injury prevention.
The Women's Activator Series aims to be an affordable way to introduce women to a new physical activity. You can focus on one of the sporting activities on offer, or work on several and build up completing a 10km Run/Walk, a half marathon or even the Taylors Nelson Womens Triathlon.
