Running Tip of the Month

Make Sleep A Higher Priority

Most runners train early in the morning, which is smart since that's when most races occur and peak performance is directly tied into regular training time.  But if you rise with the sun to run, you must adjust your bedtime and go to sleep earlier.  Being well-rested not only improves performance, but it will also reduce inflammation and joint pain and speed up healing times when you're injured (conversely, lack of sleep prolongs healing).

It only takes a week or two of poor sleep to spark these negative side effects - or for increased sleep to spark positive results.  Plus, sleep impacts both our bodies and our minds. Motivation is directly tied to how rested we feel, so make sleep a priority and you will increase the likelihood that you will stick to your training program.
