Running Tips

These running tips are supplied by some of the coaches who advertise on the Clines Running Corner website. They might apply more to beginners and/or novice runners, but runners of all levels probably can benefit from some some of the tips. However, be aware that these tips might not apply to everyone. That's why it's recommended that runners seek a qualified coach or join a group that is led by qualified coaches. The coaches will be adding to the tips throughout the weeks, so please check back often to see new tips.

Preregister/sign up for a race. There are numerous training programs, but regardless of which one you choose, a sincere commitment by you is motivation for staying on a training schedule. By preregistering for a race, you will not only save money on fees, but by knowing that the race you entered is coming up shortly will make you train consistently.  You can easily race at least one 5K per month without injury concerns. Once this habit is established, you will stay in good running shape throughout the year.
Next tip we'll talk about the three key weekly workouts.

To reach your next PR, consider these approaches to your diet and training:

1.  Don’t eat food with a label and skip all grains.
2.  Running is a skill and as such, your entire body needs to be trained to support that skill.
3. Use short high intensity training for your running workouts, and strength & conditioning, include intense longer aerobic runs 1 time per  week.  Give your body the rest it needs!
4. Include as many functional movements in your training regime as possible, to build a strong base for your running, swimming, cycling.
