Training Tips

Injury free training is important. Here are are some tips to help you keep in tip top form during these hard weeks.

Stretch regulaly. Remember, be warmed up before tackling those muscles, ease into and out of the stretch gently, and hold for 30-60 seconds

Nourish. Your body needs repair and a healthy diet is essential. Protein, fruits/veggies, and healthy fats (yes fats) are necessary for your body to renew from day to day

Ice. Icing is great for the muscles. It reduces the swelling in those tired fibers and allows for faster recovery.

Hydrate! When you are underhydrated your blood is thicker and your heart has to work harder to pump it throughout your body. Furthermore, your muscles are more prone to cramping and soreness if you are dehydrated.

Massage! If you have never gotten a sports massage, it can work wonders. Many places offer 30-60 minute massages. Go for the 60 minute, it is worth it! Talk to other runners about where they go, we can make a few recommendations as well. One important note....always a good idea to have a massage on a day you don't plan to run so your body can adjust. When it comes to races, it is best to have one about a week out.Coming Soon.
