Interval Training

PhysEd Run Club is here! The weather is getting better and it's time to get outside. Run Club is your chance to actually learn how to run. No more stumbling down the street cursing and complaining about how much you knees hurt. You'll learn technique, how to pace, how to enjoy it (again). This week we kick off our bi-weekly run club with a Tempo Run. We’ll start together with a warm-up, then we run a 3K at a pace that feels challenging *but doable*—no pressure to be fast, just to give it a solid effort. From your time, we’ll figure out a pace that suits *you* and you’ll get a simple, personalized plan to help you build up your distance, feel more confident, and gradually get faster. We'll meet in front of PhysEd - Rue des Veterinaires 47, 1070. Everything kicks off at 18:00, led by super fast dude Stefan Kikyazov. Check us out on STRAVA too! https://www.strava.com/clubs/2076984/group_events/3480220840130507642 See you there!

* **Booking + advance payment is necessary please in our online booking system** [click here](https://www.danceandzumbafun.com/book.html) **YOGA IS FOR EVERYONE -** **also for you :)** no matter your age, weight or physical shape. This is an «**open level**» class where beginners and experienced practioners are welcome! Our excellent teacher had 16 years' experience. She provides alternative postures during the class, adapted to your level, and will gently correct you when needed. Hatha yoga is ideal if you are looking to re-connect with your body and improve your physical health. It's practiced more slowly and with more static hold than other yoga types, allowing time to sink into deeper poses. It's thus ideal for **efficient stretching**, and a good choice for beginners. Thanks to your yoga practice you will **develop strength, increase flexibility, your physical balance and stability, and can also find inner balance and strengthen yourself mentally.** Our venue is spacious: you don't have to be too close to each other and it's easy to see the teacher. We ventilate with fresh air (not air condition).

We do cycles of 4-6 weeks, with a progressive intensity, and the last session is lighter. Program: 15’ warm up **To be defined** Cool down to get back to the starting point… or more S=All out sprint RF = Run fast, at MAS (Maximum aerobic speed) CF = Run comfortably fast (1h threshold) J = Jog, recuperation Notes: It should take about one hour in total, as the cool down will end when we reach back to the meeting point. It's NOT required to have an activity tracker or smart watch to be able to follow the program, as I'll be giving signals with a whistle. For the "run" part, you can follow your own pace and we'll be regrouping in the "jog" part. Intervals training is not advised for total beginners. To have an idea, the average pace at the warm up is around 5'45"/km-6'/km so this pace should feel very comfortable ***Acknowledgement of member responsibility and release of liability.*** By signing up for this event, you agree to release the organizers from any responsibility and liability in all claims.

**Caller: Richard Ades** **Band: The McKenzies** **Clinton Heights Lutheran Church** **15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle.
