Unit Summary
This unit will develop pupils' understanding of the principles of training through a running programme that stretches them as an individual but also their contribution to a team. Their cardiovascular endurance will improve whilst taking responsibility for their own training.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to pace your running progress and formulate a run strategy.
Key Notes
- Move: inhaling through your nose and mouth maximises oxygen intake during longer runs.
- Think: tracking and analysing the difficulty level of targets ensures they are still challenging and achievable.
- Feel: setting a time goal boosts motivation to train even when training feels difficult.
- Connect: setting realistic targets together develops collaboration.
- Connect: supporting others to increase their pace and provide space to run shows race etiquette.
