Week of March 13 – March 19
Oh! How dreadful it is to be injured and on the bench during racing season or training season… or any time of the year.
Runners participate in this all-year sport where there never seems to be a good time to take a month or two off. It is difficult to remember: REST and RECOVERY are important components of your running lifestyle! We can only grow stronger as athletes if we take the time to recover in our training cycles and in our training week.
This can be tough!!! The CHRC Royal Council knows this very well. So you don’t have to become isolated from your running community while in recovery, our brilliant Safety Squire, Liz has set up:
THE INJURY ROOM (FACEBOOK EVENT)
A place for us broken people of CHRC. Join if you’re currently injured, recovering from injury, or looking for ways to prevent injury that is all too likely too happen. Its purpose is mostly just a way for all of us with injuries to stay connected.
Check in for any resources and recommendations from your CHRC buddies as well. **Please note that CHRC strongly advises getting support of medical and athletic professionals when it comes to treating your ailments.**
