We had a hot Sunday long run but everyone that came did it. It was a tough one. Its just a taste of how hot it will be this summer. Remember to drink plenty of water and protect yourself from the sun.
Tomorrow we will meet at the track. I have something fun in store for everyone.
Stretching...... (remember never stretch a cold muscle)
Flexibility, the ability of the muscles to move a joint through its full range of motion, is essential to total fitness and performance. Flexible runners are able to run efficiently with smooth form and long strides. But runners may become inflexible because running itself tightens muscles, and when extending stride during faster running, inflexible runners are more prone to muscle strains and tears.
The key to improving flexibility, and maintaining it as you get older, it to stretch muscles wisely and faithfully. Some runners maintain they don't need to stretch. As we accumulate mile after mile, year after year, and our muscles age, most of us would benefit from stretching. Most sports doctors encourage it.
Happy Running, Victoria
