Marathon Running Tips

Keep the core of your body as strong as possible

Don't just focus on your legs so they can carry you through the race. Your entire body needs to be strong, especially the core muscles. Your lower body muscles may be what you feel working the most during a long distance run, but rest assured those legs could not make it to the end without the support of your abdominals, back and chest muscles.

Cheers and keep running!

Marathon Running Tips

Want to motivate yourself?

Promise yourself something once you’re done running. And we don’t mean chocolate cake! Be sure to give yourself regular non-food rewards like a new magazine, a long, hot bath, a massage—anything that feels good and motivates you. If only big-ticket items get your workout mojo going, pay yourself a dollar or so for every time you hit the gym. Then once you have the money you need to get your reward, you get to go shopping! It’s a total investment in your health and yourself.

Cheers and keep running!

Warmimg up & heart rate

Warming up before a run will prepare the body to work out by elevating the heart rate and breathing, as well as loosening muscles. This results in a more productive workout as well as reduced chance for injury. If you train based on heart rate zones, you want to elevate your heart rate to the proper place before starting your workout.

Cheers and keep running!

A nice tip!

Running Hills Will Give You a Huge Butt
When trekking up hills, you'll definitely feel a strong burn in your buns, but that doesn't mean you'll become overly expansive in the trunk. Running hills will actually tighten a saggy tush, so you'll tone and sculpt your glutes without making them bulge.

Cheers and keep running!
