Week 3 of our couch to 5K school project in Bristol, our year 10 students are doing brilliantly. Some learnings so far ✨
The group much (MUCH) prefer longer runs and breaks to shorter runs and shorter breaks. Soaking up those very useful rest periods.
Giving the students autonomy in space (in allowing them to train off school grounds) has been a great incentive for them and a big hit. It was worth their fantastic P. E teacher Hannah helping us to push for this.
Their pacing is 90% there, we still have a few sprinters!
The students are tough cookies and are not fazed by bad weather at all.
Sadly the thought of running in front of other children at school horrifies a number of them, we're hoping to change this, but let's see. It's a process. On to the next few weeks we go.
