Part of Lesson Plan: Calculating Pace

Activity Overview / Details

Handout the instruction sheet for Calculating your Pace. Explain to the students where the exercise will be taking place and review the instructions on the worksheet. Prior to starting, demonstrate what would be considered to be a good stride. Emphasize that a focused approached is important and that your gait should be consistent. A "normal" stride is better than one that is stretched out.  It does take a little practice to ensure a consistent gait and the more the students do it, the more accurate they will become when using this technique of measurement.
