Note: I am at my parents’ farm for the first part of the week, and I am experiencing technical difficulties. For example, the fun thing we seem to be doing tonight is only allowing one browser to be open at a time (yes, I’ve checked all the things. It’s not any of them. It’s just the Internet hates the country). As you can imagine, I’m taking this in stride with the utmost patience and grace (/sarcasm). Posts are being written, but they might take a minute to get to the Internet. Ditto for pictures.
But safety is a crucial topic, so we press on.
The first couple of days of safety week will be about physical safety. These are important issues for everyone, but especially those of us who aren’t as nimble as we used to be. We will spend some time talking about gear and preparation but also about awareness when you are out running, particularly if you are running in a new, unfamiliar area.
The two days after that will be about personal safety. Of course, this is also physical but it has less to do with safely performing the act of running and more to do with being as safe as it is in your control to be. We’ll talk about things to look out for and things you might think of avoiding (or at least think of never, ever telling me if you refuse to avoid them).
We will end the week with five exercises that go well with running and can help you strengthen so that you can run more safely.
Hope you enjoy!
