Athletics Training

Before Athletics we had Athletics Training so we could practice out skills.In the photo you can see me trying out high jump, the tips Mrs. Nelson told us was to run in a J shape, run slow at the start then sprint when you get close. And when you jump you have to do '' Scissor Legs '' and flail your arms up. This helps you jump higher.

The next activity was sprinting with Mrs. Owen/ Mrs. D, we practised by limiting ourselves for example we ran while having our arms folded because we usually swing while we're running to gain
momentum.They also taught us to lean forward or be on an angle to run faster, but if you lean forward too much, you'll fall on your face. Another thing they taught us is how to start, most professional runners start out with their knee on the ground
