1. H ave a goal! Whether it is to run 1 mile or 5, simply setting yourself a specific target will make things a lot easier for yourself if you have a finish line in sight!

2. Make sure you have the appropriate equipment/footwear. Nothing more likely to cause injury/discomfort than this. There are a number of running specialty shops around so any one of these will help you to find appropriate shoes and clothes for you.

3. Community support. Athletics Ireland has set up a number of online running community where you can gain and offer advice and tips. This can be a great way to improve your enjoyment of running, as well as acting as a way of trying to improve by testing yourself against other people. The Athletics Ireland Strava account can be found here, and it's a great place to keep log of all of your runs.

4. Mix your running surfaces. Too much running on one surface can lead to repetitive strain injuries so where possible vary between road/grass/trail/path/treadmill.

5. Stay well hydrated, and eat plenty of carbs around training time to allow best recovery. Other than this your diet should be sensible! It doesn't need to be very strict but obviously the poorer it is the worse you recover and perform!

6. Try some interval/fartlek/hill training. You'll see much better improvements in how fast you run if you mix up your paces. If you always run at the same speed you're just training yourself to run at that speed. You can try simple intervals like 1 minute hard/1 minute easy to start with and make them more difficult as you get the hang of them.

7. Supplementary training such as weights/circuits/pilates can be great for injury prevention and can help running itself. Try to incorporate such activities into your weekly schedule. It might be as simple as 15 minutes of Pilates/core type exercises straight after a run or a more structured program if you have the time.

8. If you have pain running and you're unsure about why, STOP! Go see your GP or Physiotherapist, find out why you have a problem and then deal with it. Many running related pains are easily dealt with, but some, if left untreated, can become chronic problems.

9. Try making running a part of your work day. Many people use lack of time as an excuse not to run, but it may be possible for you to run into or out of work, or to run at our lunchtime. This allows you most efficient use of your time.

10. Finally, enjoy your running! Every session you do doesn't have to be better than the last one. Schedule easy runs for yourself where you don't worry about pace and just enjoy a nice easy trot! And remember to #KeepYourDistance

How to Minimise the Risk of Injury When Running - Chartered Physiotherapists

As you increase your mileage, muscular aches and 'niggles' may occur, therefore build up gradually.

Never increase your mileage by more than 10% in a week; and never increase both speed and distance in the same week.

If the increasing mileage proves too tough, take an easy day or rest, this will allow your body to refuel and recover.

Vary your running surface and direction of your runs

You don't have to run all the time; include cross-training into your programme with cycling, rowing and swimming.

Include resistance and core training into your programme, this will aid in preventing low-back, hip and leg/foot injuries.

As your fitness improves it will feel more natural to train more often, and enhance your chances of enjoying your running experience.

Replace running shoes regularly; look under the soles for wear and the mid-sole for over-compression.

It's better to vary between two pairs during your preparation. Go to a specialist sports shop for advice on the best running shoe for your foot type, it's an essential expense!

Increased back/leg aches and pains may be a sign that your running shoes need to be changed.

Orthotics (permanent insoles) are often used by runners to help prevent common running injuries. Check with your local Chartered Physiotherapist for a biomechanical assessment to ascertain if you require such insoles in your running shoes.

Warm up adequately with easy running to prepare your joints and muscles for your race pace, include stride outs, high knee lifts, heel kicks and trunk twisting.

Perform static sustained stretches after running to minimise muscle soreness and joint stiffness. This helps to prepare your body for your next running session

Never run if you feel unwell; do not attempt to catch-up on lost mileage after illness/injury. This can cause further damage and result in a longer period off running. Better 3 to 4 days of rest than 3 to 4 weeks of frustration!

Keep a training diary. This is a useful way of monitoring last years' form and your training prior to an injury. Use the information to prevent the same pitfalls and to plan your next running programme.

"Hope" is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -

I've heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.

ACADEMIC GOAL SETTING

One of the most important skills that we can give to our students is the ability to create and work towards SMART goals. It is very useful for all students and teachers alike but is particularly useful for those with anxiety disorders.

For those suffering from an anxiety disorder feelings of being overwhelmed, acute worrying and fear linked to anticipating upcoming tasks and events can become debilitating. For those students who suffer from panic attacks or the physical symptoms of anxiety, activities which can refocus cognitive behavior can be very positive.

Students who are living with anxiety often feel like they have no control over their thoughts, their feelings, or their behaviors in seemingly stressful situations, such as completing homework, studying for exams, or presenting to their classmates. For some, this same sense of anxiety can be felt on any given day while participating in activities they perceive as stressful such as giving an answer in class or choosing where to sit on the bus. For these students even the smallest task can become insurmountable.

Engaging in goal setting is practical positive step that any teacher can use in a classroom setting to combat feelings of fear and anxiety.

The resources included on this page outline a number of different ways to incorporate goal setting into your classroom.

What are SMART Goals and h ow do you create them?

Start by identifying the goal

Class brainstorming and teacher modelling work well to help students to identify their goals. Once this has been repeated two or three times students should be able to complete this weekly, monthly or yearly activity unaided. You can choose for this to be an academic goal specific to your class or a more holistic goal

Help your students to specify what they want to achieve. e.g. 'Get good marks' is NOT a SMART goal.

Whereas

'Improve my Maths result by 5% by spending more time on homework and studying every Monday and Wednesday night' is

2. Make it MEASURABLE

Setting dates, amounts or any measurable parameter ensures that a point to achievement is recognizable. If a student tells me they will 'study more' or 'work harder' I ask for details. How many minutes/ hours will you spend on homework? or how many questions will you ask the teacher? Etc

3. Make it ATTAINABLE

If our goal is to ease worry and tension then this is a key part of a SMART goal. While all of us need to challenge ourselves it is important that we choose a challenge we can meet. Anxious people tend to fear mistakes and failing so make sure that you discuss this as part of the goal process, however also check the goals that are set to make sure no one is aiming at a perfection they are unlikely to reach.

4. Is it REALISTIC?

Maybe the goal is learning to drive but your student is a 2nd year, perhaps they insist they will never get in trouble for anything in any class ever again (which seems unlikely for anyone!). Try to guide students toward relevant goals which will aid their wellbeing.

5. Make it TIMELY

A weekly goal and a goal for an entire unit of study are two very different things. Explain clearly which type of goals you are setting and model an appropriate answer

As with the Risk Assessment lesson plan, giving students a security net to fall back on is key here. Explain to your class that failure IS an option, sometimes life gets in the way or things completely out of control will change the circumstances we're dealing with and so you can prepare to change or adapt your goals.

This is an excellent brainstorming or think/pair/ share activity to do with the class. Pose some possible problems and ask for suggested solutions.
e.g. I couldn't study on Tuesday because my auntie called in unexpectedly Make up for it the next day by adding that to my homework Explain to Ms Fahy and ask to give me an extra activity in class
Take the time to ensure that every student leaves space on their goal setting sheet/notebook for changes.

ACADEMIC REFLECTION
'Learning without reflection is a waste. Reflection without learning is dangerous.' -Confucius
Reflection helps learners to:

understand what they already know (individual)

identify what they need to know in order to advance understanding of the subject (contextual)

make sense of new information and feedback in the context of their own experience (relational)

guide choices for further learning (developmental)

PERSONAL GOAL SETTING AND REFLECTION

'Time and reflection change the sight little by little 'till we come to understand.' - Paul Cezanne

Personal reflection and goal setting is something we never feel we have time for an yet it's so good at clearing more space for the things you actually care about in your life. There are a plethora of planners that you can buy now that will very easily allow space and time to write your daily wins, gratitude, affirmations. priorities etc. Have a look online, see if there's one you want to try and do your best to incorporate it into your daily routine.

If however that doesn't appeal to you, the beginning of an academic year or an annual one is a brilliant time to do a yearly review and a goal setting plan for the year ahead. NOTHING will ever make you feel as supported, surprised, proud, happy, and satisfied and realising everything you have achieved in the past 12 months. Take some time, run through the different categories: friendship, challenges, work, finances, relationships, home, family, personal achievements, etc and note them all. Use the photos in your phone or on social media to remind you of all the things you've done. Read them back to yourself and smile :)

Then decide how you want the next 12 months to look. What do you WANT to achieve? Where so you want to be? How do you want your life to look? Write them down and smile again. Imagine if you achieved everything on that page?

You can get your students to do it with you in September, set the challenge and see if you can achieve some goals.
