5 Things You Should NEVER Do During a Race
Many of us know what we need to do to have a successful race. But here, we are going to talk about what NOT to do during a race!
Here are 5 things you should never do:
1. Never try a new morning or breakfast routine the day of a race. It cannot be stressed enough that all of your training runs are like a dress rehearsal for race day. You are practicing what foods give you energy during a run and you are learning how often you need to drink. You are also learning what shoes work the best for you and how much time to allow between eating and the start of the race. The last thing you should be doing is trying something new on race day. Go with what you know works!
What Pace Should Long Runs for Marathon Training Be?
While training for a marathon, the long weekend runs are the key to your training program as they improve your endurance levels and help your body be prepared for race day. Each long run that you complete, you are pushing back your endurance limit and teaching your body to run for greater amounts of time and distance.
Running long gets your feet used to being lifted up and down tens of thousands of times each hour. These long runs can also be used as a dress rehearsal for race day and you learn which sports drink works best for you, when to take sports gels, or how often you will need to drink. You also learn which top and shorts feel the best during the longer mileage.
Typically, the longest training run for the marathon is between 20-22 miles.
Real Cows Eat Grass – Choosing Healthy Animal Foods
The public has been led to believe that all meat is created equal. A chicken is a chicken is a chicken, right?
I bet that if people were asked, the majority of American’s would believe that no matter what an animal is fed, the nutritional value of its products remains the same.
Unfortunately, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Both an animal’s diet and lifestyle have a substantial influence on the nutrient content of its products.
