Becoming a good runner takes more effort than learning how to run. The following methods will teach you how to become a good runner.
To become a good runner
Self-motivation. If you want to be a good runner, the premise must be that you want to be a good runner yourself, not because of the requirements of your coach or family.
Keep running. (Stretch before you run) Make it a habit and stick with it. For example, if you run 5-6 days a week, you should set aside at least 1 day a week to let your body rest. Otherwise, it will be counterproductive.
Do some other exercises that can help.
- Rhythm running is a type of exercise performed at a stable and appropriate speed in a short period. This is a great way to do it.
- Hill repetition training is an exercise in which you repeatedly run up a hill and then down again. Don’t put too much effort into going down the mountain, you can even choose to walk down the mountain.
- Track training requires you to run around a track repeatedly, each time running a different distance. For example, run around a 4×400 meter track and rest for 3 minutes. Try different track training distances and rest times to find a running workout that works for you.
- You need to relax after running 3/4 of the distance, and then jog for the remaining 1/4 of the distance. You can repeat this exercise as many times as you like.
- Do some exercises to mobilize your ankles and prevent shin splint pain. You can do this by walking on your toes or heels for one or two minutes a day.
Develop a healthy eating habit. Eat foods containing carbohydrates and protein for energy and muscle growth, and calcium to help strengthen your bones, which are put under tremendous stress during running.
Dress appropriately for exercise. Make sure to wear the right shoes and clothing so you can run confidently and comfortably for the rest of the day.
Improve your running form.
Keep making new running plans for yourself. Run faster, and longer, and adjust your schedule from time to time.
Participate in some competitions. Advertisers who sponsor races hope to attract a large number of people to join and encourage other runners.
Ask other runners for advice.
See running club or sports team.
Hang out with other runners. You don’t have to talk about running all the time. These people can help you run. If you have running friends, they can also help you.
Do not give up! No matter what you do, keep completing each competition to make yourself stronger.
Tips
- When you’re running, you have to focus every time and set higher goals for yourself.
- Drink plenty of water every day. It’s important to stay hydrated during your run.
- Don’t give up if you don’t get the results you want. Don’t pay attention to the time deliberately, but focus on running. After a few weeks, you will find that you are actually improving.
- Keep at it, hydrate, push yourself to persevere and rest appropriately. Make sure to have a nutritious eating habit.
- The best way to train is to compete. The desire to win makes you work harder when competing
- Keep the basic muscles in your body strong. Because they help prevent injuries while running.
- Think about nothing while running!
- Eat a banana in the morning. This will give you energy throughout the day and prepare you for your jog.
- Seek partners.
Warnings
- Your running posture must be correct. Wrong posture will only hurt you. Keep your shoes simple as they will make you look natural and get you into running gear quickly. Choosing shoes that are too cushioned or too elastic will only distract you from your running posture, which can increase the likelihood of injury.
- Run in moderation. If you go beyond your range you will only hurt yourself.
- It’s normal for a runner to experience shin splint pain or other leg injuries. It can be cured with ice and rest.
- If you hurt your shin you must stop immediately or the situation will get worse. But muscle pain during running is very common.
