Running Tips

If you're planning to join a fun run or a marathon anytime soon, better be reminded about these things:

1. Do warm up exercises before stretching. Never stretch a cold muscle.
2. Training for running: progressive runs and cross training.
3. Wear appropriate synthetic blend material for shirts, shorts and even socks. They can prevent chaffing.
4. Hydate yourself. An hour before the run, drink 16-24 ounces (2-3 cups) of water, then 8 ounces (1 cup) of water before the run. Drink every 15-20 during the run and drink 24 ounces (3 cups) of water after the run.

Enjoy and have fun!
