5 Tips to become the Elite Runner

9th November 2009

1. Progress the distances you race. If your aim is to run a marathon build up through the distances, from 5K to five miles to 10K to 10 miles and so on. If you have trained for and run a half or full marathon (it's the hard way round but many people start their running with a big challenge) look at moving down through the distances. See what you can do for 10K or even 5K.

2. Don't fit it all into a week. There are many different distances, speeds and types of training. Don't cram it all into a week. You may work better on a two week routine. For example it may be a hill run every other Tuesday with a session in the park on the weeks in between.

3. Listen to your favourite music to put your mind in the right frame for success. This also helps you to relax and breathe normally and enjoy the run as well as motivate you.

4. Stay safe. Whether it is crossing the roads, being aware of personal safety issues or making sure you have reflectors on you kit for night running make sure that you are always going to be able to go out on your next run.

5. Stretch. Stretching should be done before and after your running to help your mobility. For stretching ideas for running please click here
