Running regularly? A few small habits can make a big difference to how your body handles training.
A few tips for runners:
✔️ Increase your weekly mileage gradually rather than making big jumps
✔️ Include strength work for your calves, glutes and hamstrings
✔️ Take recovery days seriously, especially after harder sessions
✔️ Warm up before faster runs or longer sessions
✔️ Replace worn-out running shoes when needed
✔️ Don’t keep pushing through pain that is getting worse or changing how you run
✔️ Prioritise sleep, hydration and recovery between sessions
