My top running training tips for individuals RIGHT NOW !
Spring has sprung, the motivation to get out and about has increased, if you find yourself amping up your running training or starting to get back into a groove of running regularly, check out the tips below to support your running goals!
Focus your energy on what you can control, this may mean readjusting your expectations and goals that you hold dearly. Replan, adjust and then go for it.
Define what kind of athlete you want to be in this challenging situation. What will make you proud by the end of it?
Identify the opportunities, set S.M.A.R.T goals to improve areas you didn’t have time for before. Core? Flexibility? Strength?
Establish a routine that works for you. We are creatures of habit. Balance this with sleep, hydration and good nutrition.
What is your WHY? Why did you start this sport? Reconnect with your goals, dreams and desires. Get that fire in the belly going again. What goal do you want to smash on the other side of this?
Now is a great time to practice visualisation, it builds confidence, motivation and concentration. Visualise yourself running down a technical hill with ease.
You have a 100% success rate in getting through challenging times, this too shall pass.
The most important tip I have is to have fun! Running is a stress & tension releasing exercise for many, enjoy your run, enjoy the space that surrounds you and breathe in the beautiful fresh air!
