Fitness Needs: Parkrun And Myer Park
Part A - Analysing Fitness Needs
Miles is 16 years old and is in Year 10 of school. He will be running 6km which is the distance kids in year 10 run. He is currently trying to improve his results in the cross country for the upcoming school carnival. This is based on a fairly elite cross country athlete, trying to shave off some time. Due to his experience in cross country already, he will be able to go straight into high levels of training.
Questions: Describe the fitness needs of this person and the goals they may wish to achieve. Ensure these are relevant to the person and their context/lifestyle.

Park runs are held throughout Newcastle, such as in Carrington, Bar Beach and Blackbutt. Like Myer Park, Park Run emulates the same experience he will face in Cross Country. It will improve his fitness, cardiovascular aerobic endurance and help him with his pacing. Due to the fact that ParkRun is 5km, it helps train Miles for his goal, which is to run 6km. Overall, ParkRun and Myer Park are perfect examples of local community settings that Miles can utilise in order to train for the Cross Country.
One final resource Miles will be using is the gym. He can get into Urth Fitness in Lambton for $4.99 a week. This limits the cost, but provides him with the machines and tools that will prepare him for the carnival.

Miles should get between 8 and 10 hours of uninterrupted sleep, as advised by the Australian Government, Department of Health and Aged Care. He should also stay hydrated, drinking 1.9 litres or approximately 7-8 cups. This is advised for all age groups.
Summary: While Miles is an elite athlete and should focus on some stretching at the end of the week, he needs a break as well. As a 16 year old in high school, we want him to have freedom and an off day. Miles should still focus on nutrition, but teenagers should not be following a “diet”. He should be eating healthy wherever possible, but diets at this age can actually lead to eating disorders later on. Today, Miles will do a yoga episode on YouTube for 10 minutes, foam roll for 5 minutes and do stretches for 5 minutes. This totals in an easy 20 minutes.
