4 sports tips from Olympic champions.
Your whole body needs to work together while running. This means balancing your run with other important fitness elements to run efficiently and correctly: plyometrics, stretching, strength training and flexibility exercises. One piece of advice that is true for all runners is that it is better to run one mile less during a workout and spend that time exercising and stretching. This is the key to preventing injuries in long-distance running, when an imbalance of forces will interfere. Do not forget to warm up qualitatively, train your muscles in between runs, and after all the loads, make a hitch. This will keep your body the healthiest, which means you will get more benefits!
Focus on drinking
It's simple: hydration helps fight fatigue. In the morning, many Olympians drink a glass of water first thing. During training, you also need water, but you can drink a special drink with electrolytes with it, which will fill your body with vitamins and energy for the next workout (be sure to discuss the use of any sports nutrition with your doctor, so as not to accidentally worsen your health, blindly hoping for a positive result).
Turn on some tunes
Music is a huge motivator that helps to withstand heavy workouts. Make a playlist of your favorite energetic and motivational tracks, or just turn on your most favorite ones. Believe me – the training will acquire new colors!
Set the bar for the desired strength in advance
If you enjoy summer horseback riding, swimming, rowing or any other type of outdoor activity, try to prioritize increasing strength in winter so that your muscles have more time to prepare. Thus, over the winter you will gain maximum strength by the time you need it. Many Olympians do quite heavy workouts in winter, but with a small number of repetitions, which can even be considered an anaerobic workout, because there is a lot of oxygen, but at the same time strength and endurance increase at the same time. And by the summer, or the time for which you have made your goal, loosen your grip a little, change your workout to maintain strength. By the right time you will be very strong and in great shape!
