We also got three new boys from Argentina, the Gomez brothers the two younger ones play in the back line but the eldest brother plays flanker. One of the reasons coming to NZ was important to me was to get to imporove my fitness by putting on the right kind of weight and strenght. Our mornings start with a gym session with Dan. At the moment I need to work on perfecting movements before I can start adding weight. There is a lot of gym work I need to do but with the help of everyone here at the Inside Running academy I can’t wait to get started.

In doing so we try to stop getting injuries that were preventable in the first place. My problems came from my weak shoulder as well as tight ankles and hips flexers. I was then given a program that I am to do during our morning gym sessions with Dan. We also were given concussion tests.

    1120 Words  | 5 Pages

    Ali Nolan argues, in “Even When It’s Hard to Run, You Should Run”, that running may seem like a hassle at first glance, but in actuality running improves lives in various ways. Sometimes the time to start running doesn’t seem right or even possible, however an individual needs to make time for it. Contrary to the belief of most inactive people, running actually helps you cope with a busy schedule and is an incredible stress reliever. Nolan is a epitome of this argument because she has a chaotic life, yet she still finds time to train and complete a 20-miler. The usage of pathos, metaphorical language, imagery, and first person, aids the reader in comprehending her viewpoint.

    In life, even though we are told not to do so, a lot of us “count our chickens before they hatch”. We make assumptions on things before they happen because we believe that if something seems so likely, it will happen. Well, that is what my Liberty High School cross country team did my sophomore year. Going into the year, we not only knew we were going to be strong, we thought other teams were going to be weak. The top teams from the state finals the previous year had all lost most of their key pieces.

That motivation is Reganne Haley. She has already promised that she will train with me before the season starts and that she will try her hardest to make sure that I don’t quit.

I told myself I was the next Pre, and then tore off for my first run through the streets of Eugene, Oregon – “Tracktown USA”.

    Putting the fun back into physical activity for children will do wonders to foster PA. You don’t see children playing in neighborhoods anymore. A constructive approach to developing outdoor free play is, in my opinion, the cornerstone of developing a love of doing, moving, and being physically active. Many children don’t enjoy the harshness of competitive sport (I was one of them) but do enjoy being out and about doing things. As a child play that involved running, cycling, swimming, and skating were all the things that I truly loved.
