Free trainings for those who plan to take part in ZaBeg.RF started in Khabarovsk

Running is very easy. Even easier than swimming. We can all run. It is no coincidence that this sport is considered the most accessible on the planet. What do you need? Two legs, shorts, a T-shirt and a wish. Although, there are nuances. It’s one thing to run a kilometer – two in the park once a week, another thing – to run regularly and for a longer distance. Here you already need a technique and preferably the right one, otherwise, instead of benefit and pleasure, you can get a bunch of unnecessary problems.

Do not worry, learn how to overcome space correctly and joyfully enough easily and it will not take much time. The main thing is that a knowledgeable coach gets down to business. It is these people who train athletes for the All-Russian half marathon “ZaBeg.RF” in Khabarovsk, in the “Amur” club. There are many who wish, the majority, not for the first time will go to the distance, but there are also newcomers, such as Yulia Postnikova. Once in physical education classes, she showed good results, now she decided to restore her shape.

“It’s only my second workout. Why did you decide to do it? I have been watching this club for a long time, I like running as a separate sport, and I also have a colleague from work here. I would like to run for myself, but as soon as I see the first results, I will run at competitions. In the same “ZaBeg.RF”. I think that inner well-being will tell me that I’m ready. The trainers are very good, I liked them very much. Everyone is friendly, they guide you how to run, what rhythm to choose, breathing. Correctly organize the workflow, if I may say so, ”- shares his impressions Julia Postnikova.

So far, training is going on in the athletics arena on the embankment. Not everyone has the appropriate equipment to run on a cold street, as soon as the weather allows, the athletes will go out into the open air. There is still time. The race through the streets of Khabarovsk starts on June 4th. And not only in Khabarovsk – thousands of amateurs will start in their cities from the Kamchatka Territory to the Kaliningrad Region.

Alexander Dudin has been running for about five years, he has been training at the Amur club for six months. I first took up this sport in the army. Now he already feels the strength to test himself at a serious distance.

– “Usually, they don’t like to run at first. The first step is hard to take, but the next steps are easier. When you start running, you get involved, there is a company and you have a very pleasant time. At first you don’t run at speed, and then you already want results. You focus on your personal records, trying to beat them. It is, of course, difficult to achieve any sporting success in athletics without a certain base, but at the amateur level, everyone achieves something if they start practicing. I plan to participate in ZaBeg.RF. I’ll run ten kilometers. This is my first time, a good opportunity to test myself,” says Alexander.

One of those who train runners is coach Natalya Sergeeva. Last year, the fastest athlete in the country according to the results of ZaBeg.RF. Then Natalia completed the half marathon in 1 hour 18 minutes and 54 seconds, which is more than 21 kilometers.

– “The minimum distance of five kilometers is presented at the Run, and it is quite possible to prepare for it in two months. Even ten is possible. Pretty realistic for the average person. There is a kilometer for children. Everyone sets their own goals. For someone – just to overcome, for someone to break a personal record, for someone to take a prize. Classes are held with us systematically, we start with a warm-up, we teach running techniques. If a beginner doubts that somewhere he will not be able, somewhere he will not overcome. You need to cast aside all doubts and come. We will teach you the correct running technique, then we will systematically develop your result, prepare for the distance for which you registered. An hour and a half workout. We will teach anyone, our coaches can do anything, ”emphasizes Natalya Sergeeva, coach of the Amur running club.

Free workouts in Khabarovsk go on Saturdays. They are held with the support of the Regional Ministry of Sports and the Directorate of Sports Facilities. All interested and experienced amateurs and those who just want to start can come. Information can be found Onlinethe VK page and in the telegram chat.

The only inconvenience is that training starts at 9 am, however, for runners it is quite a normal time. For example, Kristina Korotkaya starts her day at half past five. Mother, wife and athlete. He says there is enough time, but in the morning you see how the city wakes up and recharges with energy for the whole day.

– “It all started with banal races along the embankment, then it got colder, I asked to come here, to the arena, and here it turns out to be a running club and people are passionate about running. Great environment, atmosphere, especially since classes with the current master of sports in athletics – it would be foolish to refuse such an opportunity to do what you like. And I got into the competitive history last year and it all started with ZaBega.RF. An inexpressible feeling when you run in the crowd along with professionals, amateurs and just people who are high, everyone is running, walking – an indescribable atmosphere. In general, I believe that running is absolutely for everyone, the skill of running is given to us from birth and I don’t understand why we reset it with age. You definitely need to go in for sports, the path will not even be running, but there must be some kind of sport in life. Just running is the most accessible and understandable. In general, with the advent of running in my life, I have an incredibly busy schedule. All vacations are planned for races, we have an incredible amount of them. This is an opportunity to see other cities, travel, I discovered Blagoveshchensk for myself, I had never been there before, and last year I visited three times. This is also an opportunity to meet new interesting people. Most come to running to lose weight, but this is also a great opportunity to switch. For example, it helped me to survive the tragedy in the family. Running renews you, you are ready to move on, to live on with renewed vigor,” smiles Christina.

As part of the all-Russian half marathon, Khabarovsk expects to compete for the title of the country’s running capital. Why not? We have already become the capital of Russian hockey, now it’s up to athletics. And, by the way, in the “Race” there will be no losers, no matter how you come to the finish line, you will still receive a special T-shirt and a commemorative medal.
