WONDERING
WHAT TO DO DURING OUR OFF SEASON?
Here are some tips!
1)Rest, Rest, Rest! After all our hard training, our bodies need rest!
Be sure you allow your body time to take it easy and recover.
2)Watch
those calories! Since you will not be running/walking the same amount of miles
you did while you were training, be sure to watch those calories and plan accordingly.
Modify your calorie intake according to your activity level to avoid weight gain.
3)Try new activities! This is the perfect time for you to try something
different and still remain active! Cycling, swimming, try taking different group
fitness classes, etc. There is fun in variety and it is good for our bodies!
4)Try a different running/walking interval! If you wish to transition
to a different group during our new season, try that new interval in the next
couple of months and see how it feels so that when the new season comes you feel
ready!
5)Enjoy your Friday nights but don’t get used to it! :)
Go out with your friends for dinner and a movie or dancing. Have a normal
Friday night, but do not get used to it so you don’t have a hard time later when
the season begins in May.
6)Share your Marathon and Training Stories
Talk to everyone about how much fun you had this season, all about your accomplishments,
and invite them to join you in May!
7)Introduce someone new to the
sport There will be lots of fun 5K’s including the RiverWalk Run which we
will be participating in as a group. Invite someone new to try out the sport and
have them get ready for this event with you!
