Running facts of Interest
When writing my last blog on starting a running habit. I ran across interesting running facts that seemed pretty cool that may give you some insight on say your own running.
· Distance runners are prone to “dead butt syndrome” — inflammation of the tendons in a person’s rear end.
1) Adding in walks within non running rest period time helps
2) Remember to stretch your hip flexors & glutes
3) Avoiding elevators & taking stairs can help to increase blood flow
· Some ultra-runners may develop what is known as “runner’s face.” This is when a runner burns off too much fat from their face too quickly, creating a “Skeletor” appearance.
1)A healthy balanced diet avoiding traditional low fat meals in small amounts helps to protect face & your hair
2)protective clothing for your skin & SPF(sun protective factor) of 15 or higher with UVA & UVB applied help
· Runners replace their running shoes every 300–500 miles (483–805 km). If a person wears their running shoes for every-day use, the shoes will last only around 200 miles.
1)To avoid this keep you running shoes separate from your everyday shoes to get the most mileage out of them. I personally like Adidas for running shoes & Reeboks for when I’m out & about
or
Be prepared to replace your shoes more often
These facts could help you in your own running in how you approach it
