Running is one of the most accessible and regularly undertaken sports around the world. You can start running as a complete beginner and get a full body workout no matter your distance. Aerobic exercise, like running, has been consistently found to help people feel calmer and lower stress hormones, and even a 20-30 minute run can create calming effects that last hours (1).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At Science in Sport, running is one of our core endurance sports and we\u2019ve helped fuel elite runners and sportspeople for decades. Our unique insight and knowledge within running are informed by a panel of experts and backed by science, so we\u2019ve gathered together some top tips to help you get more out of your training sessions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span> 1. <\/span>Get comfortable with being uncomfortable!\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Running is a great whole-body workout. Hitting a variety of key muscle groups, running can help to strengthen your legs, improve your cardiovascular system and it can also have a positive impact on your mental health. We know that running is great – but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s easy.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Olympic marathoner Steph Davis says that you need to \u201cbe prepared for the ups and downs\u201d of running. \u201cSome days it will feel smooth and easy, but others you just need to put your head down and get it done\u201d. Whether you are training for your first marathon, trying to hit a PB or you just run to de-stress, it isn\u2019t always going to be easy – get comfortable with pushing yourself a bit further and you\u2019ll be rewarded at that finish line.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Practice your fuelling <\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Completing a half marathon, marathon or even an ultra is as much about your training as it is your fuelling. Planning how you\u2019ll fuel your runs is vital if you don\u2019t want to hit the wall during a race. Planning (and practicing!) your fuelling plan is as important as working out your race strategy – don\u2019t leave it until the last minute or end up trying new things on race day, as you need to be led by your body\u2019s response to certain fuels.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During your weekly long run,\u202fexperiment with different formats\u202fand the timing of your fuelling<\/span>.\u202f<\/span><\/b>This will help your stomach get used to the fuelling, so you can avoid any issues on race day!\u202fA good place to start is to take on\u202fone\u202f<\/span>SiS GO Isotonic Energy Gel<\/span><\/a> every 30-35 minutes or a<\/span> Beta Fuel Gel<\/span><\/a> every 40-45 minutes.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Train hard, recover harder.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

SiS REGO Rapid Recovery<\/span> is Mo\u2019s preferred way of recovering after a run. REGO Rapid Recovery is a complete recovery product giving you the right amount of protein and carbohydrates to help replenish and recover your system to train again, and o help to build muscle.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Listen to your body<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Running is tiring, and it is very rare for a training\u202fschedule\u202fto go exactly to plan, but there are plenty of things that you can do and listening to your body will help your running. First off, don\u2019t worry if you need to skip a session or two, you will run your best if you are feeling healthy and energetic!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Make it right for you<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

If you are training for a race, find a plan that is suitable for your ability,\u202fthe mileage you can tolerate,\u202fand the distance you are training for. Plus, you want to make sure it\u2019s manageable around your schedule.\u202fPlanning out your week in advance can also help with getting the most enjoyment and benefit from training.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Organise when you will do your training, see your friends, do your admin etc! If you have\u202fstructure,\u202fit will be\u202feasier\u202fto juggle\u202fa busy schedule, but you will also be less likely to miss your running sessions!\u202fMohamed Reda El Aaraby is a big fan of training in the morning to get your session in early. Our free 16-week marathon training guide can fit around you and your schedule, making it ideal for your next marathon training cycle, you can find it <\/span>here<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Get stronger! <\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Working on your strength will help you feel better when you\u2019re out running. Adding in strength training\u00a0can be a great way of keeping those running injuries at bay. Start off small with bodyweight exercises and progress as you feel comfortable. Cross-training can also be a great way to add more training without risking overloading the body through running. This will also improve your fitness levels, making the training and running all that bit easier.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
