Upcoming Programs
Average Joe's Goes to the City with the Steve Waugh Foundation
Average Joe's Runners Club is teaming up with National Icon Steve Waugh (or so he keeps telling Jock) and Team Waugh to raise money for the Steve Waugh Foundation in the world's biggest fun run; the Sun Herald City2Surf!
Jock Athletic has a great history with Steve Waugh and his foundation, and Steve still trains at Jock Athletic (if you could call it that). We have been involved in all the events the Foundation does for kids with rare diseases. So come and join us for this great cause and run, walk or crawl your way to Bondi to help raise money for these kids. We will make sure you have fun doing it as well! Log onto www.teamwaugh.com.au or follow the instructions below.
Jock will be taking sessions for Team Waugh and also providing programs for the race on the Steve Waugh Foundation website. Come and easily beat Steve in this race.
Jock will be providing training tips and programs leading up to the event, starting with the attached beginners and intermediate programs, as well as an attached stretching and warm-up program.
INTERMEDIATE PROGRAM
STRETCHING & FLEXIBILITY PROGRAM
As a warm-up run, Jock will be taking a group to complete the Sutherland to Surf on Sunday 25 July. Go to www.sutherland2surf.com.au for details.

As we don't know too much about swimming,
we have recruited Olympian Craig Stevens
to get us out of the dog paddle lane and
looking like Thorpey!
