Running effectively

• warm up by running a mile before a workout
• run with some food in you, something preferably starchy; nothing too watery or milky
• empty your bowels before running
• shoes for any environment are best flat; converse are good
• if some cramps in torso during pre-exercise, put on a pullover
• if cramping, drink some pickle juice. it will help.
• for mental distraction keep to few, if none. bring an mp3 player. listen to the radio. hip hop / funk / rock is good.
• keep time and distance; gmaps pedometer

 

• reward yourself with a soft drink afterwards. the sugar and caffeine bring your energy back up. the simple carbohydrates will replenish the lost.
• you won’t get the runners high unless you go 5-6 miles. it will be obvious because you’ll be giggling afterwards.
