July 2020 Run Challenge
when you have well rounded routine, you unlock a level that allows you to run and feel your best
designed for you to challenge yourself by looking at your current set up and adjusting to best prevent injury and improve form, as well as getting you out of your comfort zone. for newer runners, this is a great place to start. some things to note:
exercises
runs
social
dynamic warm up:
movements designed to prepare your body for the work its about to do so you can hit the ground running. these are key as they warm up the muscles and get the heart rate up
stretches:
happen after every run and show the body some love for the work its just done
core:
stabilizes you so even as you fatigue while running, a strong core will help you maintain good form. strong core means strong form
comfortable pace:
should be able to hold a conversation
intensity:
your perceived exertion on a scale up to 100% being maximum effort
recovery:
slowly walk around, breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth in order to control breathing, hydrate
