Running Tips

Rating **** Very Good
This is well-constructed on how you should eliminate pain in your body and
reduce injuries.
This article explains how you can
relieve your pain during or before a run. It informs the reader that you can
purse lip breath (breathing through your lips) to avoid or get rid of pain in
your stomach. This also helps if you have trouble breathing while you are
running. Another solution to the pain or trouble breathing is to start your run
slowly and then gradually progress the speed of your run. This will not cause
discomfort and allow you to have a nice and easy run. The article also
provides some motivational tips for when you’re running or before your run.
Some of the tips are to change your route every now and then so you don’t get
bored of seeing the same thing over and over again. You can run with a friend.
This allows both of you to motivate each other. The tip that I found the most
motivational was that you can run past a hospital to tell yourself how lucky
you are to be in good health.
This would be great for
Outdoor Ed because we run during orienteering and we need to be prepared in
case we feel pain in our stomach or have trouble breathing. We need to know
what to do. The article also is great if you are planning to run now or in the
future. It prepares you for what you need to do. I learned how to deal if I
ever get a pain or “stitch” in my stomach. By reading "Running Tips", I believe this will change the way I
will run in the future.
If you are thinking about becoming
an avid runner when you are older or if you are starting now, this is a great
article to read.
