Four Essential Tips for Runners
1. Start Slower Than You Think
• Only increase weekly mileage by 10%: Gradual increases in mileage help prevent overuse injuries.
• Run slower than you think you should run: This allows your body to adapt and recover properly.
2. Incorporate HIIT Mobility Training
• Bodyweight work is great because it works your stabilizing muscles: Incorporating bodyweight exercises can enhance your running form and again, help prevent injuries.
• Instagram is a wealth of knowledge for running/training: Chris recommends following fitness accounts and trainers, including his coach Nick Klastava, for inspiration and tips.
3. Fuel Your Body Properly
• Add electrolytes to your water: We lose a significant amount of sodium throughout the day, especially when running and working out. Adding salt and electrolytes to your water can help with better absorption and hydration. Former LWL guest,Dr. James Dinicolantonio recommendsRedmond Re-Lyte
• Don’t run on an empty stomach: Proper nutrition is crucial for maintaining energy levels and performance. And yes, this includes carbs!
4. Have a Stellar Warm-Up Routine
• Pre-workout: Chris stresses the importance of preparing your body before any workout with proper nutrition and supplementation.
• Warm-up: Incorporate both dynamic and static stretching to ensure your muscles are ready for action.
