Blog 1/25 NDM

Guys starting to have Apollo NDM thoughts in your minds.

Here are some tips to get you started, we will be doing a monthly blog from now until the event!

1. Training is not racing so unless your coach tells you to go 100% once in a while.

2. If you are doing intervals or fartlek try to run even pace on your hard work or even finish a little faster, running first reps like you are on fire is worth nothing if you end up on your knees.

3. Heart rate is a great way to regulate your speedwork and your recovery!

4. a good way to run a tempo is to use an out-and-back course where you can regulate your pace and hit the target.

5. Always make sure you are well hydrated and have some food in your stomach before hard sessions running on empty early morning is not healthy.

6. warm up and cool down is just as important as the hard work as it protects you against possible muscle pulls and reduces lactic and tiredness and promotes a faster recovery - NO SHORT CUTS!

Adapt these small points and I'm sure you will see the benefits Coach Ian - Running4Health
