Don’t do overtraining

This tip is a tricky one because training is the most important thing that any athlete, including a runner, has to do. But here, overtraining can be dangerous for the health of a runner. Your body is capable of doing a certain amount of exercise and training. But when you try to push it hard and try to do some extra training to stand first in the race, you can face a serious injury.

Warm-up

Warm-ups are very important for any athlete, especially for runners. Before starting running, give your muscles a good and steady warm-up so that you can have a better running experience. The best rule of warming up says that you should warm up at least for 5-10 minutes. Make sure to start with some slow exercises but then increase your speed with time. Just make sure that your heartbeat rate and breathing are faster than usual so that the blood gets through the muscles to make them work. Warm-up will allow you to run more and more without any cramp, pull, or serious injury.

Increase your flexibility

Some injuries happen due to less flexibility of the body and muscles of a runner. Flexibility helps a runner to run as he wants. But some runners don’t take it seriously at all. So, take it seriously!
