Aaron Marino of alpha m. advises how to build endurance when running. Running is a tough beast because it’s incredibly hard on your body: joints, knees, hips, and ankles. But there are some tricks to increase your endurance injury free. Stay safe and healthy for the long haul:
- The first trick is to proper shoe such as Saucony, Reebok, New Balance, and Adidas. Get fitted at a specialty store. Also, replace every 80-miles.
- The next trick is to stretch before running. Take 10-minutes to properly and thoroughly stretch.
- The next trick is to start slowly. Start on a treadmill to increase your endurance through interval training until you can run 2 -3 miles.
- Also, don’t run every day. Run every 3rd day. The repetitiveness causes injury.
- Last trick is to listen to your body. Don’t push yourself through it. If something feels funny, stop and do something else.
