Training Tips
Training for a race requires a structured plan tailored to your experience and goals, focusing on gradual mileage increases and a mix of long runs, tempo runs, and intervals. Strength training, stretching, and proper nutrition (carbs for energy, protein for recovery, and consistent hydration) are essential for performance and injury prevention. Invest in quality gear, practice race-day strategies, and listen to your body to address pain or fatigue promptly. Rest days and proper sleep are crucial for recovery, along with mimicking race conditions during training. Joining a running community or club can provide motivation and support, keeping you consistent and positive throughout your journey.
