100 Beginner Running Tips

Prevention Tips

1.   Neosporin (or another antibiotic cream) is good for chafed areas (if you didn’t use your BodyGlide!).

2. Make sure you cut your toenails short enough so they don’t jam into your Shoes!

3. Put some BodyGlide between your toes on long runs.

4. Be careful about running on paths that force you to run consistently on a slant. It’s hard on the hips knees and IT bands.

5. Don’t stretch before a run. Warm up by walking briskly or jogging slowly for several minutes.

6. Do not ice for more than 20 minutes at a time.

7. Do not use the hot tub after a race. It will increase inflammation and hinder healing.

8. Frozen peas make a great ice pack for aches and pains. A thin t-towel wrapped around them makes the cold more comfortable.

100 Beginner Running Tips

Prevention Tips

1.  Use Vaseline or BodyGlide wherever things rub. They will help prevent blisters and chafing (guys don’t forget the nipples).

2.Do not increase your mileage more than 10 percent per week.

3.Guys: Band-Aids before the long runs. Your nipples will thank you in the shower afterwards.

4.Log your mileage for your legs and your Shoes. Too much on either will cause you injury.

5.If you are prone to shin splints and lower leg pain try running soft trails for your Training runs and save the asphalt for race day.

100 Beginner Running Tips

Nutrition Tips

1.  On long runs eat something every hour—whether you feel like it or not.

2.During longer runs if you don’t like to carry water take some cash in your pocket pouch or a shoe wallet. Run a route where there’s a corner store that you can use as a pit stop to pick up your water and maybe use the bathroom.

3.Avoid eating spicy foods before running and the night before your long runs.

4.To aid recovery the most crucial time to eat and drink is in the hour immediately after you run.
