Running Tip of the Month

Prioritise listening to your body and be honest about your limits
A seriously good way to get into running is to focus on consistency. A slow and gradual progression, rather than trying to hit the high speeds or long distances right away. If possible, start with the run-walk method. Gradually Increase your running time and (super important) incorporate regular strength training and good hydration to support your body. Lastly, remember to take warm-up and cool-down sessions seriously. It is important that you always listen to your body so that you can prevent injuries and getting sick.

Use the Run-Walk Method:
This is a great way to start. Run for a short period (eg. 2 minutes) and then walk for a slightly shorter period (eg. 1 minute). Repeat the cycle. 

Remember to Enjoy it:
Remember that running is a journey, and it's crazy important that you enjoy the whole process, the outdoors, the community and the obvious health benefits it brings. See you on the road!
