ABERDEEN RUNNING SISTERS 2018
yearly fee at only £10.
BEGINNERS GROUP STARTS 18TH April 2018
We will be meeting on both Wednesdays and Mondays and you are welcome to do both nights if you can manage.
The Beginners Group begins in 11 days with all weeks meeting at the Duthie Park and only meeting at Aberdeen Beach on the final week. This will hopefully be an easier way for beginners to chart their progress. It will be organised in a slightly different way, hoping to offer more support to totaly new runners whilst offering a seperate programme for established runners looking to restart.
We would appreciate any feedback, Negative or Positive about the Beginners Group from those who were there last year . Many thanks Angela

WHAT IF?
There are sisters aged 16 to 70+ with an equally wide range of abilities. Some can run comfortably at around nine minutes a mile while others are content to jog round at a more sedate pace enjoying a chat.
To begin with, you can mix walking with running and gradually increase the running. Only when you feel ready should you increase your pace. When you run you should be able to keep up a conversation with others - if you run out of breath, your going too quickly!
NO! What it does mean is that the muscles you've already got will be much more efficient at doing their job - and you'll probably find that your clothes fit better, too.
Yes, if combined with a sensible diet. But
sometimes weight is put on as fat turns to muscle, although you'll
look slimmer as "muscle pounds take up less room than "fat
pounds"
Neither had many Sisters before they started running with us. Others have done a bit of swimming, badminton, keep fit or aerobics, and these all help, but nothing is essential.
You will need a pair of trainers as opposed to plimsoles with flat soles. These offer no support whilst running. You don't need to spend a lot but we would advise you take time and ensure you get comfortable trainers that offer good support. . Comfortable clothing such as jogging trousers/shorts a light tee shitrt or top. it is better to wear 2 thin layers than 1 thick top to save overheating.
