Daley Training
Right then, by now you've probably found the challenge of your dreams and you're likely to be fantasising about hot climates or cheering crowds. Well, not that I want to burst your bubble or anything, but you've got a lot of training to do before that glorious moment.
Don't worry though, below are a few tips that can help make your training more effective - and fun (You knows it!).
Also if you've got some advice of your own, you can share it with your fellow believers by emailing Barnardo's event's team, who will happily upload it for everyone to read.
Together we'll be ready to take on the world - and win. Hurrah!
Jumps and short runs
For runners
Be creative...
Running doesn't have to be twice round the park or up and down your local streets. You can get some legwork in by playing football, netball or even throwing a frisbee about (not on your own though, that's not much fun at all).
For parachute jumpers
Just do it
I'm not really sure how you train for this? You just need to have nerves of steel. Maybe get up every morning, look in the mirror and repeat the following 50 times...
"I'm not scared of anything, me."
On a more serious note...
Take it easy on the day before your run or jump to make sure you're relaxed for your event. And don't forget to invest in good quality athletic gear that is both comfortable and suitable for your challenge. You'll be glad of it come the big day.
