Try www.wamc.org.au for info about running clubs. I know it's called the marathon club, but it takes all comers. Web site has lots of info about all the races on during the year in WA.

Hey Jules!!

How are you guys??

We are doing great, Andy is really busy now with the business, nearly ready for a relaunch with new name, website and stuff - its all very exciting. I am keeping out of mischief (just about!)

I will send you a proper catch up email and you can let me know about that gorgeous puppy of yours!!!!


A question for you runners please???....., if your legs are still sore from running the day before, should you continue to train the next day or let them recover?

I am running 4km in 25mins at mo, is there hope to build up to 12km in 6 weeks? Does anyone have any tips/recommended build ups?

Thanks

Nicola

This is exactly what I was after. I'll have a good look at the website later.

Thank you

I would say probably dont go for a run if they are very sore, ie it hurts going up and down steps etc, probably best to do 10-15mins of stretching to to losen them up a bit and maybe go out for a walk.
You should find that your legs will adjust failry quickly and you wont get the soreness in them.
I wouldnt worry about trying to build up to 12KM, but would suggest varying the distances you run, dont do the 4km instead try a 7 or 8KM one, dont set yourself a target or plan on running the whole thing, run a bit, walk if you have to for a bit, just try and vary your speed so your heart rate is fluctuating and it will help build up your overall fitness level and your stamina.
Another good one is to do something different to a regular run, maybe find a park near by that has some small hilly areas, and do lots of sprints up it, walk back down same again, repetition etc.
