How to: Prepare for your next Run Club
Whether you're a seasoned marathoner aiming for a new personal best or a casual jogger stepping out of your comfort zone, there's never been a better time to join a Run Club. There's no denying that the rush of endorphins is hard to beat, so we've compiled five easy ways to get you ready:
1. Gear up
Investing in proper running shoes and attire can help prevent injuries, such as shin splints and knee pain, that may occur along the way. The right sneakers can offer cushioning, stability, and targeted support, transforming your running experience. So, we highly recommend treating yourself to the right gear. It's a smart investment for 1) better runs and 2) fewer injuries.
2. Warm up
Spend a few minutes walking on one of our treadmills or doing dynamic stretches before launching into your run. We suggest thinking of this time as an opportunity to wake up your body. This will also prepare it for the activity ahead and reduce your risk of injury.
3. Hydrate and fuel
Stay hydrated and fuel up with the proper nutrients before, during, and after your runs. This will help you maintain your performance throughout AND recover post-run.
4. Start slow
Don't push yourself too hard right out of the gate. It's best to begin with shorter distances and gradually increase as your body adjusts. Plus, don't forget to celebrate your milestones. These could be anything from reaching a new distance goal or noticing improvements in your pace. Your progress is 110% worth celebrating.
5. Meet like-minded people
Run Clubs offer the perfect opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals so you can run towards your goals - together. We highly recommend keeping an open mind to the new friendships you can create and showing yourself friendly to establish these relationships quicker than you can say, "ready, set, go!"
Combine all these tips with a rush of endorphins and a thrilling sense of achievement, and you've got all the ingredients for a successful run. We hope you're feeling more prepared to hit the ground running, one Strava post and Run Club at a time.
