5 common mistakes in enthusiastic runner

When they first run, some runners are very diligent and diligent. They never skipped a training session, didn’t shorten their running time, always tried their best in each track and followed the outlined plan. According to the Canadian Running, thanks to the drive and the goal of completing their assigned journey during the day, they made great progress. However, they often make some basic mistakes below.

The notion “more” is synonymous with “better”.

When the coach asks to run for 15 km, some enthusiastic runners often think that running 18 km, 20 km or more is better. However, this thinking is wrong. Having a training strategy with the right speed, intensity and distance can help the runner get the best preparation before entering the race, without having health problems or exhaustion right from the start. Note, you won’t be able to achieve your goals or break your personal records if you suffer from an injury or lack of fitness.

Likewise, you should adhere to if the coach demands to maintain a specific speed for short distances, long runs, or simply during random training sessions. Running faster than planned is sometimes not beneficial for the runner.

In addition, during the training process, if you find that the speed the coach sets out is too easy, the runner should talk to the teacher to adjust and help the training achieve high efficiency without being too much with the runner.

Achievement obsession

The passion for running is good but many runners consider this subject all their life and good achievements can make themselves worthwhile. Many people even feel bad and have low self-esteem when they lose or fail to fulfill their goals.

According to the experts of Canadian RunningIt is natural to win or lose and jogging is just a favorite activity, good habits should be maintained to improve health. Achievement does not say “who we are”. If for some reason to take a break from running for a few days, weeks or months, the runner should not torture or pressure themselves.

Don’t “listen” to the body

In many cases, there is a habit of exertion, exercising so high that fatigue, drowsiness and persistent pain. When they focus on one goal, they skip “listening” to their body and won’t make adjustments in time. Sometimes there is only a very small problem, taking a few days of rest is fine, but the runner makes the body so exhausted that a total injury, forced to stop training completely.

Runner needs to set training goals and plans that are suitable for their fitness background. If you have an injury or health problem, everyone needs to see a doctor, do tests, find out the cause and adjust the exercise regimen to suit your condition.

Loss of opinion

The process of training to conquering the race is not always smooth. Sometimes because of a little hiccups on the run or having a bad workout, the runner feels like he is walking backwards. In such times, step back and remind yourself: the goal is the race ahead, not the exercise.

If you encounter a difficult, effortful exercise and the result is not satisfactory, you should ignore it and do not put too much emphasis on the problem. However, the runner needs to find out the cause, whether it is due to overtraining, bad health or something. If solving the above problem, the runner will progress faster.

No longer interested

According to the Canadian Running, the runner will progress every day if he sets specific goals and is interested in and happy with the run. However, don’t be reluctant to make running an obligation to complete within the day. When you’re no longer interested, you can stop for a few days.

Many of the world’s top athletes say they have achieved good results because of their enthusiasm and passion for the sport. Experts also advise runners to enjoy the exercise, which is not only important to mental health but also decisive in the race. Even professional runners will be left behind if they lose their initial interest.
