I sometime hear runners complaining about the aches and pains in their legs after a certain workout, i feel happy because that shows that at least something as been done.
Training in Ngong hills Kenya |
When i used to do my runs, i used to do it in a decent way (according to me). Going for one hour twenty(1:20) including 20minutes as a warm up and the last 30 min as tempo helped a lot in my races. I wonder when some believe that when you run hard you are a good runner or you can run a good time?
For me running is about being careful and training smart. Making sure you warm up well before you start giving your body a task.
As a runners you have to challenge yourself sometime but not risking to get injured and stop your training for a couple of days...
Have a good training schedule, follow it closely and always don't forget to listen to your body. Have all the running recipe such as hills, loops, track, flat area, trails, mountains etc.
I wish you success on your training as you remember Rio 2016 in around the corner. Make your dream come true, respect others and help others where you can.
Enjoy running!
