The countdown until the 10k continues! Just in case you missed the 10 new tips from our countdown, check them out below!
Tip #11 Running outside is different than running on a treadmill so incorporate that into your training also.
Tip #12: Build cross training or low impact activities into your training schedule. Some suggestions are yoga, swimming, elliptical training, or biking. What else do you do for cross training or low impact activities?
Tip #13: Whenever possible, hop onto the asphalt or grass to give your joints a break from the pounding. Cement is the hardest surface to run on, so change it up when possible.
Tip #14: - Always run facing traffic and make sure you are visible. Like Tip #4 suggested, wear a reflective vest especially in the early morning/evening when training.
Tip #15: Ties your shoes tightly! No matter how supportive your shoes are, if your foot is not locked in to place, it will not do what it should for you if your foot is loose inside. Plus, this will lead to blisters.
Tip #16: Don’t wait until the night before the race to replace your worn out running shoes! Give yourself a few good runs in them before the big day.
Tip #17: Set training goals! This will help you stay motivated to exercise regularly. What are some your training goals?
Tip #18: Encourage family and friends to register for the 10k! It is a fun way to spend time with them, not to mention a great accomplishment for everyone!
Tip #19: Keep a record of the training and mileage you do each day. This will help you with goal setting as well as allow you to see your progress!
Tip #20: On race day, wear clothing you have trained in. You want to be comfortable!!
