How To Train For A Long Run

Health And Fitness : Top Health Tips

If you are going on a long run and this is not something you are used to - for instance maybe you are doing a charity run - then it is important that you prepare well to give yourself the best chance of getting through it without too much pain!
What you should do is get some proper running shoes - these are a must.

Build up to the distances near the length of the rate slowly. Don't try and run the full distance straight off - your body won't be able to take it and you will put it under too much strain.

Also do other activities that are not running to build up overall strength - for instance cycling is great for the leg muscles and general aerobic fitness if you hit the right speed.
