Long Range Jogging Tips

By Isabel Medine


Long distance runners will advocate their sport to anyone. They will tell you how great they feel thanks to the production of endorphins; they are very energetic and are in really good shape. When they put it like that, it does sound like a great way to exercise.

These are just some of the benefits of taking up long distance running. As you progress and run longer distances you will get a great feeling of satisfaction. It helps you to lose weight and is a great personal challenge.

As an experienced runner, I want to share with you a few tips that I use to make my runs easier and more enjoyable. See if these work as well for you as they do for me.

The most important of all is to make sure that you have eaten properly and are fully hydrated. You must have food in your body to burn off and the last thing you want is to become dehydrated.

One thing you must do is have too little food, as when you are running you will start to feel dizzy and disorientated which can be very dangerous. Too much food, on the other hand, leads to severe cramps and/or nausea. Eat healthily and your runs won't be plagued by these avoidable problems.

One thing I never leave my house without is my iPod. Having my favorite tracks in my ears as I'm running really spurs me on to reach new speeds and distances.

Running is a very lonely sport, and some good music to run to distracts you, and you don't feel as if you are running as far or as fast as you actually are. This is very beneficial and before you know it there will be more and ore songs playing as you get better at it.

Morning is a popular time for running, the general consensus is that it wakes you up and puts you in a good mood for the rest of the day.

On the other hand, many find that they have pent up energy after being stuck in the office all day and the night times are the best time for them to run. There are also those you like to run through the day. There are no rules, just enjoy yourself.
