Sharing Morning Runs on Social Media
Alex
I love running in the mornings. I only share my running maps online when I visit a different town or park. My friends do not want to see the same streets every day! Putting my routes on the internet makes me try to run quicker. I want to show a fast time to my followers. I only post the map and the time. I never write down the number of kilometres I run on my page.
Ben
I go running with my older brother every day at 6 a.m. He is very fast! We always take our phones to put our routes on social media. But sometimes I leave my phone on my bed and cannot make a map of my run. When I share my route, my friends often write nice comments. My brother likes to stop and take photos of trees and flowers, but I do not like putting pictures on my page.
Charlie
Every morning, I run around the lake in my town. I love making videos and taking pictures of the water and the birds. I always add these beautiful pictures to my running map before I post it online. A lot of people from my school follow me. They often leave comments with ideas for different streets or parks to run in. That is really helpful! I usually run alone, but maybe I will invite my friends soon.

Online Charity Runs
Animal Helpers Run
Do you love animals? Join our virtual run to buy food for the city dog home! You can run anywhere, but you must not go alone. Ask your friends or family to join you. When you finish, take a picture of your group and put it on our website. You can also write how many kilometres you ran. Remember, this run is only on Saturday morning. Put on your favourite running shoes and have a great time!
School Sports Challenge
We need money to buy new footballs and basketballs for the gym! You do not need to be a fast runner for this challenge. You can just walk. Every day, count how far you walk to your classes or back home. Then, write the number on the school app. You have a whole month to do this! You can wear your normal school clothes, so you do not need special sports clothes. Start walking today!
Clean Beach Race
Let's run to help the environment! We will use the money from this virtual run to pick up rubbish from the water. You can run in your garden or the park. To show you love the ocean, you have to wear a blue T-shirt while you run. Please do not send us photos, just write your kilometres on the website. Everyone who finishes the run will get a special document by email to print and put on their bedroom wall.

Teen gamers and wrist pain
Leo
I love playing fighting games on my computer. I want to win, so I press the keys very quickly. Last month, my wrists started hurting a lot. My doctor said I need to look after my hands better. Now, I always do some simple hand exercises before I start a game. It really helps! My friend told me to buy a new keyboard, but I like my old one. I just need to remember to warm up my hands first.
Mia
I play online strategy games with my team every evening. We usually play for three hours. Because I move my mouse so much, my right wrist sometimes feels terrible. I tried putting ice on it, but it didn't help. Then, my dad bought me a special soft mat for my mouse. It supports my hand while I play. I also make sure I stop playing for five minutes every half hour. My wrist feels much better now!
Toby
I play football video games in competitions. When the matches get exciting, I hold my controller really tightly. This makes my wrists and fingers ache after a while. I asked my older brother for advice because he plays sports. He told me to put something cold on my wrists after I finish playing. I use ice, and it works perfectly! I also try to stretch my arms and take deep breaths. I don't feel the pain anymore.
