Finding Your Inner Gazelle: The Mindset of a Champion

If you want to run faster, you need to believe in yourself. Start telling yourself that you’re Usain Bolt’s long lost cousin who inherited all his talent. When others tell you “You can’t do this” or “That’s too fast”, say it with me now: “Watch me“. Pretend like someone is chasing after you with a fresh batch of cookies (but only if they’re oatmeal raisin– we don’t condone running for lesser baked goods).

Fueling Your Underdog Story: Nutrition Tips For Speed Demons

Contrary to popular belief, eating an entire pizza before your run will not magically make you faster sigh. Sorry folks, but eating healthy is key when it comes to speeding up stamina and recovery times after training runs. Focus on lean proteins such as chicken breast or tofu mixed in with some high fiber carbs like whole grains or sweet potatoes.

Don’t forget about hydration! Drinking enough water helps prevent cramps and fatigue mid-run. During race day/off days ante-up on electrolytes and include foods high in potassium like bananas (they even come pre-packaged 😉) — help stop muscle cramping by staying hydrated!

Here are five runner-specific food ideas/suggestions:

  • Avocado toast
  • Trail mix
  • Energy bites (when made healthily)
  • Portobello mushroom burger
  • Sweet potato chili

Kidding!

Ultimately, nothing beats putting time and effort into targeted workouts that achieve specific gains. Interval training mixed in with the right amount of strength building will take you closer to being a speed deity. Shorten up longer distance runs to bolster stamina, incorporate hill repeats and sprints galore which build bone density and other vital benefits for your bodacious body development.

Here are six tips for improving your running technique:

  • Good form – ensuring knees are raised high enough while running
  • Breath control – breath 2 beats on inhale and breath out over 4 or more counts keeps lungs opening wider than usual.
  • Running hills help increase muscle tension so when race day hits you’re over prepared.
  • Scheduled Run/Walk lots (Allows recovery time)
    • Week one run three minutes/walking one minute
    • Increase every week until it’s reversed—running for minute walks for 3
      -Jumping Squats strengthening hips muscles targeting what is known as forward motion—which can translate to faster times efficiently!

Put aside some set days each week to work on aspects of this list– plus supplement any advice by seeing national trainers, Youtube channels, various blogs etc.

Accomplishing Gains One Stride at a Time : Pacing Yourself

It’s important not to go too fast too soon, especially if you want sustained results past just one family Turkey Trot–Think long term!

Aim for quality sleep also; a good level rest can aid muscle regeneration allowing you that fresh approach on race day -and beyond!

Setting the Standard: Gear Up For Victory

A good pair of sneakers helps prevent injury, as well as having moisture-wicking sox ensuring having great/lasting running experience is an absolute must & comfortable as possible before hitting the pavement outright.

Paceless Playlist Tips: Music Keeps Your Heart Rate High And Feet Happy

Music keeps us motivated when times get tough–it spiritually uplifts those who struggle (even just for 3 minutes) more than anyone else around. With optimal music producing noteworthy workouts, using tempo beats within desired workout zone is key. If preferred taste excuses don’t meet musical needs playlists can always include various genres from hard rap/electronica…to chanting gospel.

Our recommendation? Swift hardcore punk rock royalty like Refused do clever jogger justice with their ‘New Noise’ ditty leading toward constantly pushing limitations further!
