Looking for 3 ways you can improve your running?

1. Weightlifting
2. Proper Fueling
3. Adequate Sleep

Weightlifting, proper nutrition, and good sleep are essential for enhancing your running performance by building strength, improving muscle endurance, and aiding recovery. Strength training supports efficient movement and injury prevention, while balanced nutrition fuels your body for optimal energy and performance. Quality sleep ensures your muscles recover and repair, enabling you to run faster and longer with less risk of fatigue.

For more information, tips, and examples of how you can incorporate these three things into your training routine, you can download RUNsource through the link in our bio. We have resources directly from the experts themselves to help you get started today!

#run #runningtips #runsource #running #runningapp #runners #fyp #runsourceapp #fastbananas

How do you reach your highest level? Focus on your foundations. Cold plunge, sauna, red light therapy are all great but these therapies aren’t going to be what makes or breaks your performance if you aren’t meeting your basic needs. Good athletes know the importance of nutrition, sleep, hydration and mental health. Great athletes prioritize these basic needs then begin to fine tune their training and recovery with everything else.

We love running at RUNsource and believe that running should be FUN 🍌🍌🍌

Take it from RUNsource founder Dr.Kate Mihevc Edwards, running doesn’t always have to be as complicated as we make it out to be! In fact, if we put too much pressure on ourselves to do all of the right things, all the time we might actually be stressing ourselves out more and setting ourselves up for failure.

Cut yourself some slack this week and do something that you love that might not even be running, take a yoga class, go to the movies with your friend just stop stressing out about doing everything perfectly.

There’s no time for that! 🏃🏾‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️🏃❤️

Running injuries are multifactorial, which means that they occur for so many different reasons. Research often talks about how running injuries are because we do too much too soon, have had previous injuries, poor mechanics or strength deficits. We also talk about how running injuries come with poor nutrition or lack of sleep. these things are all true and there’s more. Running injuries have been a major issue for over 40 years with nearly 80% of runners getting injured.

Maybe it’s time to look deeper and ask ourselves the tough questions. What is it in our life that’s causing us to push our bodies to the limit? Why do we feel like we have to keep going when sometimes our body is screaming at us to rest? Why are we up all night addicted to our phones?

Running reflects life, and many of these questions are things we should be asking ourselves whether we’re runners or not.
