[Triumf-running] TRIUMF Running Group - Week of May 4, 2020

[Robert Watt]

Hi Everyone,

First off, I apologise for the lack of weekly Run Group notices. I have wanted to get them to you however, like so many of you, I find myself busier than ever. Fortunately, all is good on my side and I continue to adapt to the ongoing challenges.

I have found that getting exercise is very helpful while coping through these times. I hope that all of you are making time to be active.

With the loss of our lunch time group runs, the motivation to get out for a run can be reduced. I do recommend joining Strava. It is a great way to connect with fellow runners, cyclist, walkers, and most any kind of physical activity. It's free unless you want some extra perks such as training analysis. You can make your profile private so that only the people you allow will be able to view your activities. We do have a TRIUMF Running Group Club in Strava and several of us are already members.

If you wish to continue running and to keep your fitness level up, do try to do at least one speed workout, one tempo-type workout, and one long run per week. Or if you like, do the equivalent on a bike. Mix this up with easy recovery runs, leisurely bike rides, or yoga. Don't forget about walking especially brisk walks that get the heart rate up.

I do have some plans to present these notices and our web content in a different format.

Do continue to be safe and take good care of yourselves.

Cheers,
Rob
