30 Minutes of Quality Fitness to Add to Your Running Program!

Hi guys, I just wanted to let you in on a program that I think is really special because it can turn your life around and keep you injury free.

Runner's Yoga

The hardest part about running is encountering injuries that just all of a sudden start just when your program is going great. It is frustrating to say the least! The best way to protect yourself is to do proper stretches, but not too much! Too much stretching can bring you injuries aswell. Wouldn't it be nice to learn how to do the right moves when you stretch, so that you compliment your running program and your life. If you were to learn the proper way to do Yoga every single day, your body would start to feel so good. When you do Yoga you ignite every part of body that needs to be ignited. You are giving your body attention that it needs. Once the blood gets moving your whole body glows!

Proper Running Training for Beginners

There is a good reason you want to train gradually when you run, I've talked about it plenty of times.

To prevent Injury...But there is another reason too.

Anaerobic Threshold / Lactate Threshold

What is anaerobic threshold or to put it another way - lactate threshold?

When you exercise, your muscles work hard and when this happens they naturally produce a waste product called lactic acid. If you are working hard for a long time your muscles produce lactic acid. The lactic acid can build so much that your body won't have the ability to get rid of it fast enough because you've reached your lactate threshold. In short your body has too much of this lactic acid to process it!

So why does this matter?

Why does this matter? It matters because this can make you feel uncomfortable during your exercise program and could prevent you from accomplishing goals that are important to you. When you push too hard at the wrong time, you might as well be pushing your program over the cliff and you'll find that you aren't getting anywhere. You could be looking at injury, discomfort, or disinterest in your program if this happens often enough.



When you are run/walk or run it is good to think three key points during your training week.

1. Increasing mileage only 10%/wk
2. Allow rest days in between workouts from 2 or 3/wk
3. Follow a gentle plan to get you towards your goals.

We all want to get there and a lot never see the other side, because we are too busy pushing ourselves the wrong way.
With proper training you can improve your running adding endurance and speed.

Running Tips For A New Runner

• Do you want join a race, but you have never run before?
• Did you want to begin a running program, but you don't know a thing how to get started?
• Are you thinking you might want to be in really good shape by Christmas?

Here are 21 Running Tips for a New Runner:

1. Start out slow...Yes sure you want to go in that 5K race in 2 weeks, but there is no way you can develop endurance and stamina in just 2 weeks. Just like anything your have to start slow or you will risk injury.

2. Start by walking for 10 minutes and running for a minute...See how you feel, if you can go for 5 minutes more... than do it. If not, stay in the 1 minute zone. That's 1 minute on the run and 1 minute on the walk and gradually increasing your time to 2,3,4 and then 5 minutes running and always keep it a 1 minute walk. Once you get yourself to 15 minutes running straight which usually takes up to 6weeks or more. Your are ready to start building towards the 30 minute mark. This is when I usually would recommend trying to do a 5K race.

3. Run for only 4 days per week. This also refers to the run/walk program...Running more than this for a new runner will cause stress in your body thus bring injury. I found that runners who do too much running in the beginning don't stick with it. OR they are the casual runners that run only a few months out of the year because running is stressful for them. (The program is so difficult that they don't want to do it.)

4. Always get a health check up prior to starting an exercise program. If feeling dizzy or pain, stop and if you feel you need to see a doctor go immediately!


5. Run with a partner, because it helps to keep you motivated and challenges you to keep going and not quit.

6. Although it is nice to have a running partner for a lot of your runs...It is also nice to go running solo. There are no distractions and sometimes it is easier to connect with yourself and understanding what is best for you at the moment.


7. Eat moderately 1 hour or more before running. One of the worst distractions while running is food sloshing around in our bellies and then getting the ache and throwing up. Food that is digested well will give excellent energy for moving forward and getting there.
If running early in the morning, have a small drink of water and 1/4 of a banana or oatmeal and wait at least 20 minutes. This really is an important issue for people who run up to 1 hour.

8. Wear good running shoes and go get fitted at a specialty store.

9. Do proper stretches before and some after your workout so that you relieve soreness and muscle tightness and decrease the chance for injury.

10. Wear clothing that is loose and comfortable. Good wicking clothes are the best, because it prevents sweat from sticking to your body, it pulls the sweat away from your body and through to the outer surface of the garment. This is good because the material next to your skin stays dry!

11. If running at night wear white or reflective clothing, always go with a cell phone and name tag with address and phone.

12. Run towards traffic--- not with. Try to keep to sidewalks and parks.

13. Always leave information to where you are going before you go out.

14. If having you are having a real tough time running, sign up for the "How To Start Running" program on the upper right hand side in the margin on this page.

15. It is good to follow a program or a coach so that you know how to set proper goals. Or join a running group.

16. When muscles are sore sooth them with a cold shower, staying moderately active, message and ice occasionally. Sore muscles are a common ailment in the beginning of any exercise program or mileage increase.

17. Only increase mileage by 5 to 10% per week.

18. If you miss a run keep yourself motivated by saying promised to yourself. You should never move ahead of the program.

19. During the walking breaks walk swiftly.

20. Buy a watch that displays the:
Date - The day of your exercise
Time - how long it took to walk or run/walk
Distance - Km/Miles

These are optional:
Calories burned
Pace

21. Most of all enjoy and have fun!
