Athletes enjoy fine weather
EIGHT athletes enjoyed a sunny training session in Terang for week two of the term four program last Wednesday night.
EIGHT athletes enjoyed a sunny training session in Terang for week two of the term four program last Wednesday night.
After a warm-up, the group was shown how to do high knees, stride length, straight body/strong arm sprinting techniques and how to do basic running drills.
Athletes begun a 70m routine slowly, with a strong focus on putting what they had been taught in to practice.
They were then encouraged to finish the final section of track at fast pace, while ensuring they kept strong form.
A 400m fartlek (starting with single file) followed before concluding the session with 200/400m cool downs.
With a few Terang club athletes attending senior athletics, VAL races and Athletics Victoria All Schools events in the coming weeks, the club hopes to see the learning from last week’s session put to good use to increase personal best times.
The season runs from October through to December, with training held every Wednesday at 4pm at the Terang Rec Reserve.
All new and prospective members are welcome to take part and give aths a go.
