Session #4

Hope the DOMS weren't too much to handle on Wednesday/Thursday after our session on Tuesday night!

Just a quick email that this week's session is not at the Shoe Clinic as I discussed on Tuesday night (that's the following Tuesday).  This week we return to the Botanics to meet with Nige (Training Principles) and Greg (Race Walking) - will email more details soon.

Session #3

This Tuesday we head to the Botanics, (base of the Centre of NZ, off Milton St) for our talk with Lyndon Chandler of Nayland Physiotherapy on injury prevention.  Remember, to bring along questions for him - he loves them!

6.30pm.

Then, after the 20 minute talk we will head out for a jog / walk with the NBS Nelson Striders.

Bring comfortable jogging/walking gear, and layers to keep warm whilst the talk is on. 

See you there,

Keep active (and dry)

Session Two

Tonight we begin our running and walking section of the series, and to start we are heading out with the NBS Nelson Striders.

Meet in the 'Striders' carpark, opposite the Suter Art Gallery on Bridge St at 6.30pm.

Wear comfortable and bright coloured clothing for a 30-40 min walk or jog.  And looking outside, wear something warm - and bring a rain jacket!

You can choose to go with the walking group or the jogging group - if you want to have a go at jogging, but not sure how long you're last, start with the jogging group and give it a go.  You can always walk when you need to.

See you there!
