SRC E-NEWS March 29

We had 50 runners on the night with many PBs achieved. What made the night even more enjoyable was the atmosphere created by everyone watching and encouraging, it was great to see everyone working hard on the track and being happy with the results and enjoying being a part of the night.

This will be the last track session until October/November 2019. A massive congratulation to Coach Chris (assisted by Norah) for all their hard work in organising these events. It was great to see these events streamed live on Facebook with the knowledge of people watching live while Chris commentated.

Nathan hits out another PB for the 3000 mtrs last Tuesday. A sub 9:00 minute for 3 km = 3 mins per km or 20 km/hr or 40 km in 2 hours. That’s assuming the pace is maintained.


Nadine Edwards receives National Emergency award – Congratulations

Feeling honoured after receiving a National Emergency Medal today for my contribution to the 2009 Victorian Bushfires aka Black Saturday Bushfires. This is a good time to reflect on one of Victoria’s darkest times and remember those who lost their lives, family, friends, homes and still suffer deeply today…I for one will never forget xxx

Sunday

Nathan Stoate ran 42.2 km (full marathon) as a training run at Cobram. His time was 2:49:03 or 4:00 min/km pace average.

Below are the stats from Strava on this run.

This is a massive super impressive effort for a training run. I understand Nathan will run at the Numurkah fun run and I think their is a course record waiting to be broken.

SRC Bunnings BBQ.

Sunday saw the SRC host a very successful BBQ at Bunnings raising just over $1,100.00. Thank you to everyone who helped out.  Special thanks goes to Melanie McAuliffe for organising everything and everyone for the day. Well done superstar.

Editors Note: – Over the last few months a few people have informed me that the word parkrun had a lower-case p in it. Yes, I know! After the first time I was told, I have made every effort to get it right. I don’t know if it’s the late nights or I have trouble changing the name of something to start with a lower-case, or autocorrect. But I do know and I am trying to get it right all the time.

Thanks for your understanding.


Coming up in March

March 26 from 6pm, we will have a handicap race that night. (assuming a track booking is ok.)

Albury Murray marathon festival website is here.


If exercise is a regular part of your routine, helping prevent injuries is the key to helping you stay in the game. To keep on track, get yourself these simple tools to use at home.

Foam roller

The popular foam roller is reasonably new on the exercise scene and research into its benefits are still ongoing. There are studies that suggest when combined with stretching, foam rolling can help reduce muscle soreness and increase flexibility. The pressure of rolling across areas of the body can help relieve muscle tension and break up connective tissue. Aim to foam roll for 1-2 minutes before exercise and 10-20 minutes after to benefit from its effects.

Spiky ball

Great for releasing tightness in hard-to-reach trigger points. Wedge the spiky ball between you and a firm surface and slowly move around to create pressure on the point. You can adjust the amount of pressure by moving the position of your body. Try it out on the soles of your feet, front and back of your shoulders, glutes and hip flexors. Some points can feel tender to press against so remember to breathe through it.

Resistance band

The perfect tool for stretching, especially if you have limited flexibility and mobility. Resistance bands help to deepen your stretch while increasing your flexibility. You can lie on your back to stretch the groin, inner thigh, hips, lower back and hamstrings. To stretch your hamstrings, lie on the floor and loop the band around your foot and push it to the sky, and then gently pull on the band so your leg comes towards you until you can feel the stretch. This can also help release tension in your lower back.

Heat bag

Having one of these can be handy if you have stiff joints or aching muscles. Applying heat stimulates blood flow and tissue elasticity to help relax the area. It’s important to remember that heat is good for stiffness and aches, but not for acute pain after an injury, like a sprained ankle.

Icepack

Ice helps reduce pain and swelling in the first 48-72 hours after an injury. Applying an icepack helps slow blood flow to the area and decrease swelling. It can also help prevent stiffness later down the track. If you don’t have an icepack in the freezer, frozen peas will do the trick, just make sure you wrap them in a tea towel or cloth so you don’t burn your skin. Ice your injury for 15-20 minutes every couple of hours, and if there is no improvement within a week, see a doctor or physio.

What. A. Day. Early morning on a Sunday again to catch up with Dwayne FitzpatrickLuke Whykes and Matthew Nunan over at Cohuna for a Bridge to Bridge Fun Run 6.5km.
I managed to pull off a win in 24:22. My first win in my short running career which is the confidence boost I needed and is the reward for the effort I have put in so far.
Plus indulging at the Waffle House was also reward for effort! Thanks fellas!

Deadlifts.

A TRAINER EXPLAINS WHY YOU SHOULD INCORPORATE THEM INTO YOUR STRENGTH-TRAINING ROUTINE.

Incorporating strength training into your regular routine has a ton of benefits—it not only helps you become a stronger, faster runner, but it helps prevent injuries, too. And while deadlifts may seem intimidating at first, Noam Tamir, C.S.C.S., owner and head trainer at TS Fitness in New York City, says this lower-body move is worth keeping in your rotation for a few very specific reasons.

Deadlifts strengthen your glutes.

The deadlift move recruits a lot of muscles in the lower body, including the hamstrings and the glutes, says Tamir. Plus, your quads get majorly activated as you extend your knees and lift up the weight.

“Since the gluteus maximus is one of the main movers in this move, the deadlift will definitely build muscle on your butt,” says Tamir.

But wait, there’s more—Tamir explains that deadlifts also work your traps, along with your lower, middle, and upper-back muscles. And your entire core gets a challenge, since it’s responsible for stabilizing your spine through the movement.
