Marathon Workshop

Martin Still- Clinical Nurse Specialist (PGCert in Health and Social Education)

29th January 2 hour workshop £10

This workshop can be for first time marathon runners or those who have run before.

Participants will focus on running a spring marathon in 2012. Martin will be using a PBL approach to solve the 'problem' that is the marathon.  You as a group will decide what you discuss, whether it be training based, nutrition or psychology.

‘Can I really find the motivation to run 26.2 miles’

‘Will my knees be able to cope with running?’

‘How do I train for a marathon?’

Through this we will arrive at an action plan  – one that may include the necessity for further sessions – the great thing is, YOU will decide what you need! All that is asked is that participants are willing to share and engage in discussion.

Research has shown PBL to be a powerful learning experience and we will be amazed at what we all know. I anticipate that by the end of the initial workshop we will have considered training, nutrition, rest and whatever else the group comes up with. I also anticipate that there will be expertise available from the kind staff at Studio57 Clinic, should we need it!

The aims are for all members of the group to:

arrive at a spring marathon having considered all aspects of preparation and the relevance to each individual

consider a strategy for actually running the marathon that includes preparation on the day of the marathon, and what to do during and after the marathon.
