Workouts - These are optional. However, in order to improve, you will need to train on your own, at least 3 days a week. They are organized by Tuesday/Wednesday group, but please adjust according to your needs. Always remember the following when training:
- Run somewhere safe, both from traffic and other concerns.
- Run with a water bottle/some way of keeping hydrated.
- Do warm-ups and cool-downs. Working out without properly doing these may lead to injury.
- Make sure to eat nutritiously as you can. If you eat nothing but junk, you will feel like junk when you are running.
- For joint pain, take time off and rest. Make sure to ice it as well. If problems persist, please see a doctor.
- Get a good pair of running shoes, and only use those shoes for running.
