RUNNING TRAINING –

            The Superintendant of Gymnasia has called attention to the fact that the instructions as regards running training laid down in paragraphs 309 to 321, Manual of Physical Training, are in many cases not sufficiently followed.

In many cases the exercises are made too severe and not sufficiently progressive, and in many cases the instructions in paragraph 319 as to not running before breakfast are disregarded.

General Officers Commanding are requested to issue such orders as they think advisable to correct these faults in training.

Disregard of the instructions laid down often causes heart strain, and the training, improperly carried out, is actually harmful in many cases, instead of beneficial.
