Hello Friends,
Read through below writeup and share it to your friends.
1. Punctuality: Going to the running spot at right time makes big difference. Because, if we go late then we would think that we need to go home earlier. So we might reduce our running distance. Or else our concentration will be on leaving earlier from running spot. Going to bed earlier will help for early wake up and start running before sun rise.
2. Pre workout meal (This point is not added in video, but added here): Before running we can take pre workout meal or snacks. Some people drinks only water before running. They trained their body in that way (Ex: Banana, Lime juice, Apple).
3. Warm Up: Before starting any workout, gym, running, cycling, swimming whatever it might be – Stretching and Warm up is mandatory. It not only helps to do workout easier but also to prevent injuries.
4. Running Speed: If we are a beginner speed doesn’t matter. Our focus should be on increasing our stamina and endurance. Moreover, if we run slow or moderate, more fat loss will happen. This helps for weight loss.
5. Running form: Good running form gives good efficiency. We can ask our friends to take video of our running and checking will help to correct the mistakes.
6. Breathing: Many people will have doubt on this part. If we are running in comfortable pace, flat course, downhill we can manage with only nose breathing. Meanwhile, if we do sprint or any hill repeats kind of speed workouts our body requires more oxygen. In such cases, we can do mouth breathing also. Remember more oxygen intake gives more power output.
7. Hydration: When we are running our body water and salts will go out. So we need to balance it. Some people may have doubt like can we drink water after workout? Yes you can. We can drink adequate water 30 or 15 min before start of running, small amount of water in regular intervals during running, once we finished running we can take water. But make sure, we should not consume water very fast. In general, Marathoners consume some amount of water every 5km.
8. Warm down/Cool down: Same like warm up, warm down also important post running. Our muscles will be tight after the run. So we need to cool down and loose our muscles by doing stretching.
9. Recovery foods/Post workout Meal: During the running workout our muscle tissues will tear. For repairing them we need to take recovery foods such as protein rich foods (Ex: Egg whites, Peanut butter, Protein shake), vitamin contained foods (Ex: Lime juice with salt, Orange, Watermelon) after the warm down session.
