Staying Motivated For Running


  • Invest in a good quality pair of trainers. This will ensure your feet get the right support, reducing the chance of injury. 

  • Vary your training to include speed work, interval sessions and strength sessions, as well as the longer run to increase endurance.

  • You must give your body time to recover, otherwise all your effects will be wasted. A couple of days off a week will be more beneficial to your body and mind than running everyday, which can lead to over training and injuries.

  • Ensure you fuel your body sufficiently. Running expends huge amount of calories. Its important to refuel with a balanced diet after each run. Ensure each meal has a good balance of carbohydrates, protein and un-saturated fats. 

  • Commit to a race/it will give you something to focus on.
