Run for your Life

There are a number of different benefits which an individual can gain from running on a regular basis. There are some runners who run simply for the joy of running and others who run to reach a time goal but there are others who run because they realize there are a great deal of benefits which can be gained from rigorous exercise such as running. Some of these benefits include weight loss, improved cardiovascular health, improved bone health, improved mood and better coordination. Running is an all-around positive experience for your mind in body. So take some time and get out and RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

Improve Your Chances

What are you doing to join us at State?

The running you are able to do in the coming weeks will determine whether or not you have a good season or a GREAT season. Get out and run 5-7 days a week with runs lasting at least 30 minutes. Start including pick ups, hills, and strides in during your mileage runs. Also, remind your body what it feels like to do some core and strength training. If you want someone to workout with, meet after school in the business/art hallway by 3:55pm and join our group.

HAPPY RUNNING
