The challenge is to keep the intensity controlled. There is no need to get really puffed and tired. Remember the talk test. If you exercise with others the talk test comes automatically. If it is just you, talk to yourself but perhaps not too loud!….We can divide what we call the submaximal pace up in 3 zones. 1. Easy: this is a pace where you are not too puffed and the talk test is not even a test. At this stage this is the zone you spent most of your time in as it will give you some initial conditioning without the risk of soreness or muscle strain 2. Steady: this is slightly faster than easy; it can also be called a “firm” pace. It takes a bit more effort to talk but you can still form sentences without having to take an extra breath 3. Moderately hard: this is the pace where you need that extra breath to finish your sentence. You can still talk and jog at the same time but it becomes more laborious so you tend to shut up and concentrate more on your rhythm and holding your pace LeveL Monday wedneSday ThurSday SaTurday Beginner 14km Jog/run Intermediate 14km Jog/run 6km walk 6km/14km 30 min Walk 3 min x 6 Jog 2 min x 6 30 min Easy jog 20 min Walk 2 min x 4 Jog 3 min x 4 6km 14 min (light) 4km 40 min (light) 40 min Walk 4 min x 8 Jog 2 min x 8 40 min Easy Jog 30 min Walk 2 min x 6 Jog 3 min x 6 6km 15 min (mod) 14km 30 min (light) 40-45 min Walk 20 min Easy Jog 40 min Walk 6km 20 min (mod) 14km 40 min (light) 45min Walk 3 min x 9 Run 2 min x 9 55 min Easy Jog 30 min Walk 2 min Run 3 min x6 6km 30min (light) 4km 60min (light) To achieve this goal you need to develop some awareness around the basic requirements of exercising for health and fitness. First and foremost this has to do with 3 key principles: 1. How often do you train? To improve your level of health and fitness you will need to aim for 4 sessions per week. 2 or 3 sessions per week will only maintain what you have and 1 session per week is definitely not sufficient. 2. How long are your sessions? The duration of your sessions will generally build towards between 30 and 50 minutes with one longer session of 60-80 minutes. 3. What is the right intensity to train at? The good thing about the programme is that all your runs will be done at submaximal pace, also called conversation pace. That means a pace where you can still talk. If you can’t talk you are going too fast and you are likely to come to a grinding halt sooner or later. This programme and accompanying information are written as a guide only. If you are concerned about your health at any stage please undergo a health check with your GP. TIP oF The weeK Make sure you have comfortable footwear.

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Thursday January 23 2020 The Star SPORT 27 Garvey to play Augusta • By Gordon Findlater Findlater AMELIA GARVEY will become just the second New Zealand woman to play at the world’s most exclusive golf club when she competes at the Augusta National Women’s Amateur in April. The 19-year-old who played for the Kaiapoi club is currently beginning her third year at the University of Southern California. Since receiving the invitation to the tournament earlier this month she says it’s something that she is getting excited about every day. The event is held over four days from April 1-4 - the week preceding the Masters. “I’ve made Augusta the screen saver on my laptop now because it’s literally all I’m thinking about at the moment. I’ve never been this motivated for one specific event,” said Garvey. The Masters at Augusta National is an event Garvey has watched closely over the years. She says it will be a dream come true to play on the course she has so many memories of watching others compete on from afar. “If I get the chance to be in contention it’s going to be weird because I’ve watched it so manty times,” she said. It won’t be the first time she has competed on one of the world’s more renowned courses. In October 2018 Garvey helped her USC team to the East Lake Cup title at East Lake Golf Club - the same course Tiger Woods won the Tour Championship on a month earlier. “Even when I was walking down that 18th fairway it was a surreal feeling.” The prospect of Garvey playing at Augusta would have seemed extremely unrealistic just two years ago. DREAM COME TRUE: Amelia Garvey will play at Augusta National after receiving an invitation to play at the second ever Augusta National Women’s Amateur. PHOTO: GETTY At the 2018 Masters newly elected Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley announced the creation of the inaugural women’s event at the course for 2019. The club long held racist and sexist policies and admitted no African Americans as members until 1990 and no women as members until 2012. “This is a huge step for women’s golf and bringing to light some issues that go in the differences between men’s and women’s golf. I remember watching the announcement for this tournament and wanting to play in it so bad,” she said. Garvey will fancy her chances at the tournament. In June Garvey had the biggest result of her career, narrowly missing out on winning the women’s British Amateur title. An impressive week saw her progress to the final before losing 1-down to England’s Emily Toy at the Royal County Down course in Northern Ireland. “When you start to realise your dreams aren’t that far away you get even more motivated and believe in yourself that you can actually do it, it’s just going to a little bit more work,” said Garvey. In 2018 Garvey moved from Christchurch to Los Angeles to begin college at USC. She is now part of one of the United States’ top college golf programmes, although being based in downtown LA means she now has a 30 minute drive to her nearest course – a big change from her parent’s home which borders the BIG STAGE: Last year’s inaugural tournament attracted major like crowds and onlookers included many Masters competitors arriving for the major which begins just four days after the women’s event.

So it’s the place to be if you’re wanting to test your game against those girls,” she said. “You’re held a bit more accountable over here. You have to turn up to practice. You’re then wanting to beat the girl next to you and if you see someone putting in more work than you, you realise you have to do the same. That’s helped me a lot because in New Zealand I was never one to push myself that much especially being by myself in Christchurch.” At Augusta an international field of 72 women amateurs will compete over 54 holes of stroke play. The first 36 holes will be contested over two days on the Island and Bluff nines at Champions Retreat Golf Club in Augusta. A cut will take place after 36 holes, advancing the leading 30 players to the final round at Augusta National on Saturday, April 4. The entire field of 72 will then play Augusta National for an official practice round on Friday, April 3. Last year Wenyung Keh from Auckland played at the tournament, but was unable to make the cut for the final round. If Garvey can do so she will become the first Kiwi woman to play competitively at Augusta National. Stroud stakes claim for US contract • By Gordon Findlater BEN STROUD arrived home just a month ago after a four year stint in the United States. Today he heads back stateside for his first professional trial, but he’s unsure how much he’ll need to pack. Stroud - the son of former All Whites goalkeeper Alan Stroud - leaves for Albuquerque, New Mexico where he will stake his claim for a professional contract. Stroud will trial with New Mexico United who play in the United Soccer League, one tier below Major League Soccer – the biggest league in North America. “It’s been a bit hard to pack because I don’t know how long I’m going to be away for,” said Stroud. “I’ll trial over the weekend, but outside of that I haven’t been made any promises. I’ve just got to go out there and give it all I’ve got.” The 21-year-old central defender has spent the past four years playing at division one United States college Missouri State. Last year he anchored the side’s backline that conceded just 10 goals in his 16 matches. The side broke a number of school records including a a run of 17 wins a row during their season which saw them win 18 games, draw once and lose just once. For the past three weeks Stroud has been training with the Canterbury United Dragons. He had hopes of representing his home province while at home, and depending on how his trial in the USA goes, playing for the Dragons may not be off the cards yet. “If I was able to, I’d love to play for Canterbury,” said Stroud. Outside of training and family time, Stroud also put in some shifts at dad’s pub – O’Sheas Public House – over the Christmas period. He knows what playing for Canterbury would mean to his father. “He really wanted me to play. I’d say it would mean a lot to him and he would be pretty emotional about it. It would mean a lot not just to him, but mum and my sisters too.” STATESIDE: Ben Stroud has spent spent the last four years perfecting his craft at Missouri State University. For now though his eyes are well and truly fixed on impressing at his trial with New Mexico and pursuing a professional career. “I’d love to sign a professional contract and make a living from football,” he said. “It’s been a dream to follow in dads footsteps and hopefully play for the All Whites one day.”
