The tasks so far have all been about investigating or gathering data. The task this week will look at development.
Task 1. Complete a 5k run at a steady pace throughout and submit your time in the usual way to
pe@coltnesshigh.n-lanark.sch.uk
Task 2. Watch this clip on Fartlek Training
Task 3. Complete a Fartlek Training session. Design your own session lasting 30 mins. Structure you session with a 5min jog to warm up, 20 mins Fartlek work, 5 mins warm down jog.
For the 20 mins Fartlek work you will have to plan how to do this. examples are,
jog for 10 lamp posts, increased speed for 2 lamp posts.
Music – 1 song = jogging then 1 song increased speed then next song back to jogging and repeat
Use a timer- 2mins jogging, 30 secs increased speed and repeat
Use your app/gps for distance – 300m jog then 100m increased speed and repeat
These are just suggestions and will depend on your level of fitness
NB increased speed does not necessarily mean sprinting.
Complete a 5k run. Record your score. If you have an app use it to record your result. If you don’t have an app, you could measure 1.6 miles in the car and run to that point and back and record your time. Submit your result to
pe@coltnesshigh.n-lanark.sch.uk
Tip – Sending a screen shot of your live result from your app would be good as evidence!!
I will collate the results (which will be kept private).
How did you do with your fitness test? If you didn’t manage to complete it yet please do so ASAP. A few of you asked where should you submit your answer for last week’s describe question- keep it safe somewhere as we will eventually ask you to submit it through MS Teams if you have access to Glow.
Mr McRorie completed his tesat last week. How did you compare? He used the Nike app to complete his 12 minute Cooper run and ran just short of 3k.
Work will be posted here for those thinking of doing higher PE next year. Please read the attached doc. and complete the tasks by next Monday 11th May. Any questions can be emailed to the PE dept directly at the following address,
