Lesson 2 - What to Eat/Drink

 

Fuel Up

In order to run you need to fuel your body! 

Lesson 1

WATER!!!!

There is no getting around it. Running outdoors in the summer you will sweat a lot, especially if your in a hot and humid state like me in Florida, regardless you need to replenish your body's resources of water. If you don't you will most likely cramp up and then not feel good about your run. Running should be a positive mind clearing journey of determination not a dragging  on of pain.

Lesson 2

Do what you want, what you want with my body - Lady Gaga

The second most important thing is to listen to what your body is telling you to do. Make sure if its telling you your hungry before your run, eat... If you eat, make sure you wait to digest or you won't feel so hot after the first mile or so. If you feel better running on a banana or water based stomach at 4 am do it. Listen to your intern clock and your body to make the best decisions for you. Do not feel bad if you have to stop mid mile or take it up to a longer minute mile. You are out there doing your thing and the only person who is in charge is you. 

Lesson 1 - How to Become Motivated to Run

Lesson 1 - Motivated to Run

Running is an exercise that is completely self propelled. There is no one trying to get the ball from you and you don't have to hit anything. All you have to do is move your feet forward. Sounds simple right? Well it takes some dedication adn seld motivation to get out there an just go! How do we do that?

#1 -Make sure to set reasonable goals.

This sounds like a silly thing to say but if you make reasonable goals and reach them you are more likely to continue on your running journey instead of setting unreasonable goals missing them and feeling defeated.

#2 - Prepare

If your a early runner: Make sure to wear your running clothes to sleep or at least lay them out the night before so all you have to do is use the john and get out the door.

If your a late runner: Make sure you save enough energy from your day to give a run a chance. Also, if your running in the dark try to bring a buddy and war reflective gear.

#3 - Log your runs

Make it known that you are doing it!! Tweet to the hashtag #runforfun and comment on each days post to get motivation from your peers!

That's it for Lesson 1

Make sure to get out there an Run!!
