Run Club

This Monday we started our weekly after school run club with Katrin and Mr. MacInnes. It was a great success and enjoyed by all.

We did a few exercises in the playground to warm up. We did silly walks, for example we put legs backwards and legs forwards. We also did running around to warm up.

Then we did single file running on the road. All of us went in a line and we went quite slow, then the person at the back would run faster to the start and keep on going. So everybody got a turn at overtaking.

We also did fast walk and fartlek. Fartlek is a Swedish word. It means that if you do the exercises, you can get faster and you can run more.

We all chose an exercise to do. We ran and then we did an exercise, then we ran on. I chose Arabesque. You stand on one leg and lean forwards and put your arms out. Freya chose frog jumps. Ellis and Oran chose star jumps. Arlo and Colm chose fast running. Agnes chose tree pose.

It was important that we all stick together. When we got back to the school, we did some cool down exercises. We were stretching our bodies in different directions.

We all felt good and more energetic at the end. I can’t wait to do it again!
