1 Week Countdown
One race, one country, one heritage, one cause and one week left! We are only a week away from the start of the Annual Ajvar 5K Run and Walk people! We have been avidly preparing for the start of the race and are so excited to see you all at the races. We wanted to share with you what to expect as you anticipate the race next week.
First order of business: food. We can't let you run hungry, so fruit and energy bars will be provided for you! We also want to make sure that you will be properly hydrated and warmed up, so we will provide light refreshments and a 30-minute Zumba warm up before the race starts to get your legs ready to run.
If any of you faces foot trouble during the race, don't worry, just stop by NOVA Foot & Ankle Center table! Owner Dr. Kostadinka Hadzijska Skandeva will examine and treat any minor foot and ankle injuries of any participant in the race, along with answering questions to share advice on health.
Those who want to know how to fuel their bodies will be able to get advice from the Max Muscle professionals. They will also offer their product samples and professional advice about sports nutrition.
If you still have not started training for the 5K, too late. Just kidding and don’t worry, there is a way to get in shape in time! Just follow the 1-week workout plan below! Remember: if you need to rest or feel any sort of pain, please stop, walk and or pause workout regime to ensure your health remains in pristine condition.
