  • 1Identify key movement concepts used in middle-distance running based on prior sports experience
  • 2Ask learners to recall and name three athletics events they have watched at school or on television, writing answers in exercise books
  • UNDERSTANDING PACING AND STRIDE IN MIDDLE-DISTANCE RUNNING
  • 1Demonstrate a 200m jog at steady pace on the school field; ask learners to observe your arm swing, leg lift, and breathing pattern, then draw and label the running position in their exercise books using the chalkboard diagram shown
  • 2Explain: Pacing means controlling your speed to finish strong—not sprinting at the start. Learners stand and practice three cycles of: walk 10 steps, jog 20 steps, walk 10 steps, while you call out 'steady pace' to reinforce the concept. Use Textbook during the task
  • 3Learners form pairs and one partner runs 100m at a steady jog while the other counts steps; partners switch roles and record their step count in exercise books to compare stride length
  • 1Textbook
  • 2Exercise book
  • 3Chalkboard
  • 1Call on one pair to demonstrate their steady-pace run while the class observes and gives a thumbs up if they see correct arm swing and breathing
  • 2Learners whisper to their partner one thing they will remember about pacing for tomorrow's longer run
Exercise
  • 1Run 200m at a steady pace and describe in one sentence in your exercise book whether you ran faster in the first 100m or the second 100m, and why that matters for middle-distance running

  • 1Recall movement concepts and pacing strategies learned on Day 1 of this week's athletics series
  • 2Ask learners to name two pacing strategies for middle distance running; listen to volunteer responses (steady pace, fast finish)
  • APPLY PACING STRATEGY IN MIDDLE DISTANCE RUNNING PRACTICE
  • 1Learners run a 400m course on the school field using steady pacing (not sprinting); use the chalkboard to draw a simple track layout showing the start, middle, and finish points before the activity begins
  • 2Pairs record their own estimate of running time (in seconds) in their exercise books after completing the course; ask one volunteer pair to share their estimate with the class
  • 3Fast-finishers repeat the course using a fast-finish strategy (slower start, faster end) and compare their two times in their exercise books
  • 1Textbook (athletics section)
  • 2Exercise book
  • 3Chalkboard
  • 1Call on one learner who used steady pacing and one who used fast-finish to explain which felt easier and why
  • 2Whole class repeats chorally: Pacing means controlling my speed from start to finish
Exercise
  • 1In your exercise book, write or draw: Show a runner at the START, MIDDLE, and FINISH of a 400m race using steady pacing—write one word under each position to describe the speed (slow, steady, steady)
