Top 25 Running Tips
Page 5: Twenty five ways to better running - 21 to 25 |
Previous Page |
21. Stay hydrated. Try to drink 3 litres of water per day. Spread this through the day. If you lose as little as 2% of your body weight in fluids, your performance can be severely impaired. Get in the habit of having a water bottle close to you throughout the day and sip away. Monitoring how often you’ve refilled it will show how much you have drunk. You will feel and perform better when hydrated. 22. Stretch. Stretching should be done before and after your running to help your mobility 23. Be natural. Try not to get too hung up about your breathing or stride length when running. The body is good at sorting out the best rhythm naturally. Stay relaxed and try to run smoothly with your shoulders relaxed. Don’t consciously try to extend your stride 24. Don’t run if you are ill. There are two good reasons for this. The first is that running with a cold or worse can be dangerous. You can do yourself real damage. Secondly it will mean you take far longer to recover from whatever it is you have picked up. Get healthy first. Then take as long to get back to ‘normal’ training as you have had off. 25. Keep a training diary. Write down the details of your training, such as how far, how fast, and where you went as well as how you felt will help you to check your progression and it is motivating. Remember to include non-running exercise whether it is a circuits session or relaying a patio. These factors are also part of explaining why you felt more tired one week than another. Your diary will help you spot problems and chart your progress.
