system or rhythm when running in order to remember
and pay attention to their breathing.
A trick for runners is to count their strides and breath
together: breathe in in three strides, breathe out in three
strides. All people are different in their breathing, but
the best way to keep yourself in check is to incorporate
your breathing with running strides.
Running Equipment
In today's market there are many options of running
gear. Sometimes it is overwhelming to choose what
to buy and it can also be costly! Don't get tricked into
buying what is more commercial, opt for worthy gear
and choose for quality and performance.
Clothes should be comfortable, loose or tight, but
not too heavy. In many cases, a simple sweatpant
and sweatshirt combination is just enough. For those
who like a more fashionable approach, spandex and
close fitting clothes are good as long as are made
of sweat-wicking fabric. Moisture is not your friend
when dedicated to running . Breathable clothes are
what count. The choice is really up to every individual.
Though it is good to note that even though our bodies
do warm up when running in cold weather, keeping the
body well-clothed is essential. Running with few layers
in cold weather can strain and shock the muscles,
setting up your body for long-term injuries. Strains
and muscle pulls are common when not keeping your
muscles and body warm as well as inviting colds and/
or flus that attack the immune system.
