So, the following saturday, we were all asked to come to Shoreline( I live in the bay area, and am part of the silicon valley chapter. Asha has chapters in many places) and once I reached there, the entire group was asked to run. No warnings! Thankfully, it was a very short run, less than a quarter mile(400 metres) and then we did some stretching. This was when the coaches and mentors started talking to us, walking us through what was going on and what we will be going through. Timeout to explain who these people are
Coaches and Mentors: There are 4-5 coaches at Asha who are hard-core runners and really really know what they are doing. The mentors are repeat runners who help out. All these people are volunteers, including me. Which is why Asha donates 97% of all money raised.
So, they walked us through these stretches(will put up a post with pics once i get them) and explained why some of these were really important. And we were also asked to attend a shoe clinic the next day.
