Jogathon Preparation

 

• Warmup: Jog/Walk Progression-
• Add a lap each week starting the third week in April.
• This will help prepare students for the Spring Jogathon and the 4th/5th Track Meets.
• At Edison: Students run a half block, starting at the gym, then towards Onyx Street, down to 23rd, then back to Emerald and the Gym.

   

• Jogathon Preparation: Give each student an index card and set the timer for 10 minutes (first class) 15 minutes (second class) and so on.
• Mark off the cards for every lap that students complete.
• A hole puncher or stickers will also work.
• Teacher blows whistle: Everyone return to the gym when time is up.
• Read off the elapsed time when each student completes a lap.
• Wear Pedometers: Estimate steps before running.
