brINGING tHe COmmUNItY
in tRaininG beLOW Is A LIst OF pHILOsOpHIes, IDeAs AND HINts tO HeLp YOU HAVe A GreAt DAY At tHe rACe Frequency over Duration - Rather than trying to run “long”, run “often”. Running four times a week for 20 minutes is far better for your preparation than running only once a week for an hour and a half. Keep the body active and make this training a habit.
Preparing for the Charity Run
Walk or jog - It’s not necessary for running to be painful. Consider running in comfort for just a minute or a few minutes and then walking for a minute to bring your heart rate down. You can easily link this together for 20, 30, 40 minutes or more and make a great workout from a walk/jog approach. Good form - It’s better to run with good form for a short period of time and then walk for a minute to refresh - than to have that form deteriorate and run poorly. Good running promotes more good running, and the ability to run well, faster and longer.
Poor running risks injury and should be avoided. Break up your runs with short bits of walking to recover and refresh so you can run well again. Hydrate - Drink a bit more water than normal to help offset the fluid lost during exercise. An electrolyte drink can help too but mind those calories. Food as Fuel - protein to repair muscles, low glycemic carbohydrates for longer lasting energy and good fat (nuts, nut butters, avocado, etc) all serve a purpose for you, the athlete.
