It can be used as a team building exercise, it increases physical activity levels, it's fun for some, serious for others, parents and teachers can get involved too and on top of all of that it can help raise funds for charity or a school project. All the information you need to know about the event can be found on this website but if you should have any further enquiries contact our office on 8392 3000 or email us at community@southernjunciton.org.au
NUTRITION
THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD NUTRITION Age 10-15 years is a period of rapid growth and development. Appetite is usually increased during this growth period. There are marked changes in body size and changes in energy requirements during this time. It is important to recognise this period of rapid growth and ensure children eat an adequate diet that allows growth and development to proceed normally, maintain body weight and prevent nutritional deficiencies. Active children who engage in sports and physical activity expend more energy and therefore need more food. In general the body's fuel (energy) comes from three main types of food:
PROTEIN: lean meats, chicken, fish, turkey, milk, yoghurt, eggs, cheese, nuts, seeds and legumes.
CARBOHYDRATES: Wholegrain cereals, breads, pasta, fruit and vegetables.
FAT: Olive oil, butter, avocado etc
Children need a balance of all three. When exercising, emphasis should be more on carbohydrates to provide energy and replace gylcogen lost. Children should choose low to moderate glycaemic index carbohydrates prior to exercise and high GI carbohydrates afterwards. Protein is also important for muscle gain, repair and recovery. Always ensure children start the day with breakfast. Breakfast choices should be high in fibre, protein and carbohydrates to sustain energy throughout the day. It is best to avoid cereals and breads high in salt and sugar as they are highly refined and only provide quick burst of energy that does not last. A good start could include an egg on wholemeal toast and a bowl of porridge with milk and fruit. Water is lost from the body during exercise via sweat. Children need to drink plenty of water prior to exercise as well as during and afterwards to avoid becoming dehydrated.

Get Started - Stay Safe
As you embark on your training remember that staying injury free during your training will enable you to perform at your best on the day. The program will cover the importance of ; warm up and cool down, fluid replacement, pre and post event/training food, shoes, what to do if injured and weather conditions. WARM UP
Warming - up is a term that covers a range of activities such as light exercise, stretching and psychological preparation for an event. A warm up slowly increases the heart rate, increases heat throughout the body and reduces the risk of tearing or straining muscles. An appropriate warm up for training for the City-Bay would be a brisk 2 to 3 minute walk prior to running or a slow jog before hitting full pace. This could be followed by a few minutes of stretching.. Click here to view the Smartplay Warm up and Stretch instructions. S T R E T C H
Incorporating stretching into your warm up and more importantly your cool down will help prevent muscle soreness between training sessions. Stretching increases flexibility and freedom of movement, reduces muscle tension and reduces the risk of muscle and tendon injuries. When stretching, hold the stretch for 10-20secs., repeat the stretch 2-3 times, stretch to the point of tension - never pain, stretch the major muscle groups for running eg, hamstrings, quadriceps, calf, groin and gluteal. COOL DOWN & RECOVER
Cooling down after exercise helps remove waste products from the muscles, reduces stiffness and soreness and enables you to participate at the same level within a short period ,which is important while training for this event. A cool down should consist of a 2-3 min light jog or brisk walk at the end of training followed by 5-10 minutes of stretching. Concentrate on the main muscles used while running eg., hamstrings, quadriceps, calf, groin and gluteal. EAT WELL - RUN WELL
Good preparation means watching your diet as well. A well balanced diet can provide you with all your energy requirements so you don't become run down due to increased training. Ensure your diet is high in carbohydrates eg. Rice, pasta, bread, breakfast cereals, fresh fruit and starchy vegetables. Watch your fat intake as extra fat can slow you down. Protein is important to build and repair muscle tissue and as a reserve energy source when carbohydrate stores run low. Protein needs can be easily met by including moderate amounts of low-fat milk and dairy products, eggs, lean red meat, chicken or fish, and legumes (e.g. baked beans) in your diet. DRINK UP & HYDRATE
To maximise performance don't forget about your fluid requirements. The sweat you lose during training must be replaced. The best fluid to drink is cool water or weak cordial, sports drinks are useful for any exercise over one hour. Drink 2-3 glasses ˝ -1 hour prior to training, when you can during training and 5-6 glasses after training. Thirst is a late indicator of fluid loss and should not be used as an indicator of when to drink. Don't over drink. EAT YOUR WAY TO RECOVERY
As your training starts to increase, recovery can be assisted by replacing the energy the body has just burnt. The best way to refuel the body is by eating some easily digested carbohydrate within 30minutes of finishing exercise. If you don't refuel you may find that you get tired and find it hard to get through your next exercise session.
RECOVERY BUSTERS! (choose 1-2 during recovery)
· 800- 1000ml sports drink
· 500ml fruit juice
· jam or honey sandwich (have plenty of jam or honey)
· 3 medium to large pieces of fruit eg apple, banana
· 2 x 200g low fat fruit yoghurt
· large bread roll with banana filling
· 60g jelly beans or lollies
ASTHMA AND EXERCISE
Asthma affects 10% of our adult population and exercise can trigger asthma symptoms in 80% of these adults. If you are feeling excessively breathless after exercise it could be asthma so ask your doctor. If you do have asthma, don't forget to take your reliever inhaler with you on your run. Prepare for the run by taking your reliever medication 5-10 minutes before starting your warm up. If you start to get wheezy during the run, stop, Take 4 puffs of blue reliever medication. Wait 4 minutes. If symptoms are completely relieved you can resume running. If no improvement, take another 4 puffs, and seek medical attention. If symptoms return or are severe keep taking 4 puffs every 4 minutes until help arrives. EQUIPMENT - CHOOSE THE RIGHT SHOES
The continual pounding of running can take its toll on the body's joints. Selecting the right sports shoe can ensure you have the best protection available. When selecting a shoe for running ensure the shoe is properly fitted and suits your running style. Look for a shoe that bends at the ball of the foot, has a rigid heel counter (the bit that supports the back of the heel) and has minimal movement when twisted lengthways. The density of the midsole is also something to consider. If your foot rolls inwards (pronation) you should seek out a shoe where the sole on the inside of the hell is hard and the sole n the outside of the heel is softer. Neutral midsoles are ideal if your foot rolls outwards (supination). (Joggers World at 123 Pirie Street stock a wide variety of New Balance shoes) TREATING INJURIES
If you do sustain a soft tissue injury during your training, such as a pulled muscle or sprained ankle remember the RICER principle:
Rest (stop all activity)
Ice (immediately for 10-20 mins every 2hours) Do not put ice directly onto injury
Compression (Compression bandage around injury)
Elevation (Keep the injury raised above heart.)
Referral (Get the injury checked out by a sports doctor)
And DO NO HARM: All of the HARM points will cause more bleeding at the injury site this will make the injury worse and you may miss more training
DO NO:
Heat
Alcohol
Running
Massage
DO NO HARM for at least 48 hours after the injury. BEAT THE WEATHER
Running exposes participants to all the extremes of our environment. Be aware that extremes in temperature can lead to increased risk of injury. On particularly hot or humid days, train early in the morning or later in the evening, ensure you are well hydrated before during and after training. Don't forget to be SunSmart and put on your sunscreen and wear a hat! On particularly cold days hypothermia can be an issue if precautions are not taken. Ensure extra layers of clothing are worn, take care of the extremities such as fingers and toes and despite the cooler weather do not neglect your hydration. ENJOY THE RACE

TRAINING PROGRAM for the SUNDAY MAIL CITY-BAY FUN RUN One of the most crucial things in being successful at distance running is to run the race evenly. To get the very best result, each kilometre should be run at the same pace or close to it. Beginner runners could perhaps aim for either a 60 minute race or say a 72 minute race. To establish your race pace per km you divide the number of minutes you hope to run the race in by 12. So as an example, 60 minutes divided by 12 = 5 minutes. This is 300 seconds. Next divide this by 10 and you establish your race pace is 30 seconds per 100 metres. You need to practice your race religiously. If you live in a quiet street you may be able to measure out a 100 metre distance there. If not a trotting track, athletic track, football oval or parklands will be ok. The City-Bay except for the first hundred metres is either flat or downhill. It is an easy race to run. Each kilometre is accurately signposted so you will find it easy to keep a check on your race pace. If you adopt a training program such as this and stick to the race pace plan you are likely to run the best race you are capable of.
TRAMS: (Please do not leave it to the last minute to get to the start) To the City from Stop 15 (Brighton Road) for the start: Trams will commence operation from Stop 15 (Brighton Road) every 10 minutes from 6.20am until 1:05pm.
