I try to go running as often as I can, and I really like going far. Not only am I burning calories this way, but I'm strengthening my heart and I'm disciplining myself from all of the hard work that goes into the activity.
Here are a few tips that I'd like to share from my experience, all of which I believe will truly make the process of running far a lot easier and more enjoyable for you. Try these out and see if they work for you.
I can't say enough about the impact that food and drink will have on your ability to run. It's critical to have the right balance of food and water in your system before you set off on your run.
The last situation you want to find yourself running in is one where you haven't had enough food or water. You're simply putting your body in danger when you do this. On the other hand, if you've had too much of either one, you're likely to deal with discomfort.
I always like to have my headphones on while I run. A nice soundtrack can give me an instant burst of energy.
There are psychological benefits to this approach. Namely, it serves as a distraction that helps to pass the time more quickly.
When you run is just as important as what you run with. You should try to target a time of day that you're physically comfortable with.
You may be someone who can't motivate in the morning. I'm personally that way. On the other hand, there are many people who function best in the morning, as their bodies are most rested then.
Good luck with these tips, and have a great run. - 30553
