What you’ll learn
I can pace my running progress and formulate a run strategy.
Key learning points
- 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.
Words to know
- strategy
- a plan or method to achieve a goal or solve a problem
- tracking
- monitoring and recording progress over time
- pace
- the speed at which you run
Common mistakes
Pupils think hitting your targets is the same as doing the maximum amount you can.
A target needs to be SMART. It needs to be specific to the group, one you can measure, the group agrees it and it is realistic to all the abilities and fitness levels in the group. It also needs an allocated time to achieve it.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Ensure the collaboration and supporting of each other is explicit.
