Kajaks introduce SpeedLab
With an increasing need for speed in sport,
the Richmond Kajaks Track and Field Club is introducing a program to help
athletes pick up the pace.
Recognizing that track and field has produced
the fastest athletes in the world, largely because of an expertise by that
sport’s coaches in human movement, SpeedLab aims to give athletes in other
sports the tools they need to improve their speed in their respective field of
play.
“Athletes who take part in this program will
be instructed in proper running mechanics and training tools, designing to both
improve their speed on their field of play and help prevent injuries brought on
by improper running techniques,” says Kajaks’ executive member Karen Fisher
Hagel.
“We look forward to helping more athletes
achieve their potential.”
Geared specifically toward girls and boys
aged 11 to 15, the SpeedLab is scheduled to be held every Tuesday through
mid-June. The inaugural session was to begin today (Feb. 5) and continue
through March 12 from 6:30 to 7:45 p.m. at the Richmond Olympic Oval. The
second session is slated for April 2 to May 7 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at Clement
Track in Minoru Park, with the third session May 14 to June 18; also from 4:30
to 6 p.m. at Clement Track.
The cost for each session (six workouts) is
$150.
