As simple as is it gets, put on some shoes and go.

Run

A complicated sport, that offers you the beauty of early mornings, hitting the road while the sun is rising.

Tips for Improving Your Running

Don’t let the amount of equipment and fuel needed for cycling to stop you from enjoying this amazing sport. With proper preparation you can have a blast being on the road away for hours.

Learn your HR zones. If this is your first time with clip in shoes, practice in near your house slowing down, clipping out. It can feel unnatural at first, but some practice it’ll come second nature.

Make your easy runs, easy. If you are looking to race a 70.3 or full Ironman, realize that most of your racing will be low/medium effort as you’ll need to sustain this for 6+ hours. Practice this effort in your training.

Fuel up. You already have to wake up early to beat the heat, but set the alarm 15 minutes earlier and have a carb-heavy breakfast before your long runs. To help sustain you, prevent injury and allow you to workout the next day you need to get proper nutrition before, during and after your runs.

Don’t be afraid to rest. Running is a high impact sport and can cause injury and issues in our body. If you’re new to running, you’re more prone to injury when ramping up distance. If you feel a pain, increase the amount of cycling for the week and let your body rest.
