Become a Better Runner

It's almost time for spring sports to start and I'm pumped for track so it inspired me to do a post on running tips. So this post is for everybody who is in track, plays softball, or just wants to do better in gym class. :)

Bored With Your Workouts?

• Bring a friend! I love going on runs with friends! It's way more entertaining, It's fun to do stuff would you rather or try to out do each other with the worst corny jokes.
• Make a play list of all your most exciting songs that make you wanna dance! I HAVE to have music if im running, I find it gets boring with out it.

Can't Get Motivated?

• If I really can't get motivated to run I tell myself that I only have to do it for 5 minutes. After awile you forget about it and just keep running.
• Set goals. This helps me soo much! So whether you wanna run your mile under 6 minutes or you wanna be able to run 5K, as long as you know what you want to do it will get you motivated to accomplish it!

Sore?

• Always stretch! It is way more likely that you will get injured if you don't stretch than if you do! Nobody wants a snapped tendon, so please stretch!
• Foam rollers are lifesavers!! Just get on the floor and roll it over any thing that's sore, for example your back, thighs, or shins.

And always remember just R.U.N! :) And while your at it please do your best not to be like these guys!!
