Running Question!?

Question

What should you do before every gr8 running event or evan just going out jogging. I want to be able to run a lot/gr8 distances...so what are your tips.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Take you some water

Answer 2

Eat a banana and a tbsp of honey abt 30 minutes before you workout. It's a great energy booster!

Answer 3

Stretch really well after running on the spot for 2 minutes or something. Don't eat or drink too much beforehand so that you don't get a stitch but bring water or an energy drink with you. Build up the distance slowly.

Answer 4

eat a peanut butter sandwich, stretch/warm-up, and practice breathing in through your mouth  and out your nose.

Answer 5

ALWAYS - watch what you eat.  Less red meat, for instance



Run the same time every day, and make it your priority for that time

Get your mind ready to run - the mind is the most important element in distance running

Set a realistic goal and run a realistic speed to make your distance

Get the right shoes.  In the USMC we ran 5 miles daily in combat boots, so it can be done - but it's better for your knees if you have good running shoes

Listen to your body - if you feel joint pain, find out why its there.

  

Learn to breath with discipline while running



Run where traffic isn't a problem

Good luck - I ran 35 years before a car accident ruined a knee.   I miss it.
