If you have been following me for some time, you know that I love running, but I also love lifting weights and last year. I decided that I wanted to incorporate running with lifting weights because I learned and came across a lot of people who were running, they told me how running gives them high how it keeps them focused, and how it’s a great form of movement encouraged by this, I wanted to start running Its last year.
I started running and I started lifting weights as well, and it’s been almost a year and since then I have been able to gain muscle.
My top 3 tips on How to Incorporate Running into Your Lifestyle.
1) Start Slowly
The first principle would be to start slowly and in order to apply this principle, I will be using progressive overload.
When I started running for the first time. I also had these huge expectations of running 5 km or 10 km in Mongo, but soon I came to the realization that it’s a wrong expectation to have, so I was hardly able to run 400 m and I was huffing and puffing, so these are few mistakes that I was making, and this is something that you should not make firstly make sure that you start slowly.
Don’t try to run 5 km in one go, it will eventually happen. You will become too, so you will have so much of fatigue that you will not be able to stay consistent with that kind of attitude, so start with just five minutes and stay consistent with it. It does not matter if you have to run five minutes only for 2 to 3 days a week you don’t need to run every single day, and if you can, it’s good, but if you cannot, that’s also fine so for 2 to 3 days every week start running 5 km.
Start with five minutes of running 2 to 3 days a week the next month probably start with 6 to 7 minutes again 2 to 3 days a week and slowly your body will get used to this kind of increment, and you will become comfortable and used to running, and once you get used to running, you can easily slowly and sadly increase the number of kilometers and miles and once you do that is progressive overload, okay, so start slowly
Also, if you do weight training, then it will be a good recommendation that you do three days of weight training per week and two days of running slowly and steadily.
In this fashion, you will be able to increase your muscle. Also, your strength also, as well as you will be able to increase your running miles as well.
2) Choosing the Right Gear
The second would be to choose the right running gear or the running shoes. Now you can get any kind of shoes that you want, but it should be a proper running shoe because if you use any other shoe which is not designed for a comfortable run, chances are your you will have you will fatigue easily, and because you will be most probably running on roads or treadmills or probably on harder grounds. It will have a huge impact on your knees which can start causing knee pain and might cause injury in the future as well, so it is extremely important to choose the right running shoe.
As I said you can choose any issue, but if you have to take my recommendation, I would like you to try at least once the Puma nitro collection, the Puma nitro collection has created a huge market in the running shoe industry on the running shoe market.
The reason is the Nitro tech that they use in their shoes which is extremely which makes it extremely comfortable, both for professionals as well as ordinary human beings like us who just want to go out for a daily run.
My top five favorite shoes are Electrify, Velocity, Deviate 3, Deviate Elite, and Liberate 2 and I made a complete detailed video on my KZbin channel as well.
I have added the video in the related section of this short, you can go and check it out and choose for yourself along with this.
3) Proper Fueling and Recovery
The last thing that you need to consider while starting your running routine or running career is how to fuel properly it’s extremely important because you will be running and you will be asking your body to do something extra.
Make sure you fill yourself appropriately before you go for your run. If you’re running first thing in the morning, and you don’t have much time to eat anything and you have an hour only before you start running go for a source of simple carbohydrates.
You can use a banana or you can use glucose which is known as extra monohydrate along with that, I would also recommend, especially for the summers to use an electrolyte supplement.
It means that once in a while get some massages done, so that your leg muscles you know your knees your tendon, stay fresh and relaxed, and try to get as much as possible at least 6 to 7 hours of sleep. If you really want to recover fast and you wanna progress faster in your running routine.
