Running Tips

• Wear spandex shorts under your regular running shorts so you don’t chafe down there.
• Cotton socks will lead to blisters; purchase socks designed for running.
• women please do not skimp on a bra. It may even cost more than your trainers, but you will not regret it!
• Wear sunscreen and a hat on a hot and sunny day – in winter too!
• Hydrate. Make it a habit to drink water throughout the day.
• Avoid eating spicy foods before running and the night before your long runs.
• Use Vaseline wherever things rub. They will help prevent blisters and chafing (guys don’t forget the nipples).
• Guys: plasters before the long runs. Your nipples will thank you later.
• Pay attention to your form. Try to run lightly to minimize impact that could lead to injury.
• Don’t stretch before a run. Warm up by walking briskly or jogging slowly for several minutes.
