What is GOODRUN:
GOODRUN has an online tracking database for all activity with an incentives system to motivate and encourage. Online GOODRUN also supplies a nutrition component with health and fitness lesson plans.
Participants can track their weekly performance. Allows user to self motivate, interact with other users, and follow incentives programs. Participating schools can set up Inter-school and school v school engagement. GOODRUN has
an online reporting suite for participants, schools, and partners.
GOODRUN combines technology with physical activity to engage participants long term.
Why GOODRUN:
GOODRUN was created because there is little to no funding for P.E. Teachers in Primary Schools throughout NSW and the average age of Primary School Teachers is 45.8 years of age.
We understand the academic workload placed on primary and secondary school teachers, therefore not diluting the curriculum focus. GOODRUN is easy to implement, execute, and maintain. The program requires minimal
time, exertion, and follow up from staff.
The GOODRUN online component provides an easy to manage program and low level training requirements for staff.
GOODRUN requires minimal equipment. GOODRUN team sets up the program at the school and provides guidance and support.
Unlike other programs for sport and physical activity in school, GOODRUN puts a simple idea in to the hands of the teachers and staff and allows for a sustainable program with longevity. We don’t require teachers
to train, nor do we require schools to pay and we provide support throughout the program.
