I try to go running as often as I can, and I really like going far. Not only am I burning calories this way, but I’m strengthening my heart and I’m disciplining myself from all of the hard work that goes into the activity.
Based on my experience, there are some things that I’ve picked up along the way. All of these tidbits really help to make my runs easier to complete, especially when I’m running long distances. I hope you find these as useful as I do.
My biggest recommendation is to make sure you’ve eaten properly before you start. The same also goes for water. You need to be amply hydrated and you should have the right amount of food in your body to burn off as you run.
The last situation you want to find yourself running in is one where you haven’t had enough food or water. You’re simply putting your body in danger when you do this. On the other hand, if you’ve had too much of either one, you’re likely to deal with discomfort.
I’ll also suggest that you always run with music. Whether you have an mp3 player or any other device, you’ll definitely benefit from the presence of music.
There are psychological benefits to this approach. Namely, it serves as a distraction that helps to pass the time more quickly.
When you run is just as important as what you run with. You should try to target a time of day that you’re physically comfortable with.
You may be someone who can’t motivate in the morning. I’m personally that way. On the other hand, there are many people who function best in the morning, as their bodies are most rested then.
Good luck with these tips, and have a great run.
