1. Hydrate
Drink plenty of water to fuel your run, prevent dehydration and help to avoid muscle cramping. Your goal should be 8-10 glasses of water, along with plenty of vegetables and fruits since their water content will contribute to your adequate hydration. This will help you to have your best run!
2. Pre Fuel Your Body
To have your best run yet make sure you pre fuel with something small but enough to keep you going strong. I usually have an apple with a piece of cheese or an egg to give my body some natural sugar and protein. This helps to fuel my run strong!
Frequently asked questions
3. Perform a Dynamic Stretch
To get your run going on the right foot and help you feel strong, perform a dynamic stretch prior to setting out. I usually perform 100 jumping, high knees or whatever other stretch in motion to lubricate my joints and get my heart rate going!
4. Be Positive
Keep your head up and run strong for the betterment of your mental and physical health. If you smile and keep a positive attitude you will have your best run because nothing will get you down. If you have to slow down, no big deal, just enjoy the experience and your pace will soon enough reflect your positive outlook!
5. Pick up the Pace
To have your best run yet, pick up the pace for about 4 minutes, equivalent to a half mile, and then slow it down to give your heart rate a break. Repeat this for as long as you are comfortable and within several weeks you will notice both your speed and endurance increase!
6. Give It All You Got
Think of all that went right in your life, all the good and give it all you got. Life is what you make of it so make the most of it and have a blast! Running is a gift so enjoy the experience!
7. Stretch It out
As you finish your run make sure to stretch it out from head to toe. Stretch every limb and feel the greatness of good health. Part of having a good run is the pre and post stretch; this will help you to get out there again and again, continuing to feel at your best ;-).
So follow these steps so that you can have your best run yet and make the most of each and every stride! Happy running and I hope to run into on the road one day!
