How to run for LONGER WITHOUT getting TIRED! 🏃♂️⏰💥
So you’re trying to build endurance?
Awesome.
But you’re so tired in your runs, that you’ve started to dislike running OR you’re falling asleep at work after?
Not Awesome.
Let’s fix that.
1. Hydrate BEFORE, DURING & AFTER a run
You shouldn’t go a few hours during the day at rest without hydrating.
So why on earth would you RUN for a few hours without hydrating.
💧If you’re doing a long run - take a drink
💧Before you go for a run - have a drink
💧When you get back - have a drink
💧day before a run - HAVE A DRINK
Once you’re dehydrated, it’s much harder to drink your way back to normality, your energy and drive will suffer for most of the day.
DONT get dehydrated in the first place!
2. CHECK YOUR FORM 🏃♂️👍🏻🤔
🏃♂️Head up and back straight
🏃♂️High cadence
🏃♂️Relax shoulders
🏃♂️don’t lean forward at waist
Sloppy, tired and poor running form burns MORE energy than good form.
Poor form can also lead to aches and pains.
Keep mentally checking in with yourself throughout your runs and make form adjustments if you’ve slipped.
It’s easy to get sloppy over longer runs.
3. Focus on breathing 😮💨🫁🧘
Don’t splutter and gasp, focus on controlled rhythmic breathing.
Try breathing in for 3 secs, then out for 2.
Breath in through your nose if possible.
If your breathing is out of control, slow down.
You’re trying to build endurance NOT sprinting speed.
