Show for runners
Television One’s new six-part series, “The Running programme,” which screens at 9.55 on Sunday mornings,' tells joggers everything they need to know about running, from the selection of proper footwear to setting training schedules. Whatever the parttime runner’s goal, even if it is no more ambitious than getting around a modest local street circuit, this programme provides expert advice on how to achieve it. One of the series’ programmes is devoted to discussing personal diets with three of Britain’s former world champion athletes, and a lecturer in nutrition at the University of Loughborough, Moya Walker, speaks about research work which has shown the significant effect a balanced diet can have on athletic performance.
New Zealand has been at the forefront of the world-wide running boom, which has undoubtedly led to a fitter population, but because it is largely a self-taught sport, it has also led to a crop of running-related injuries.
“The Running Programme” devotes another segment of the series to the avoidance of such injuries and, when they do occur, how best to treat them.
