Want to know more about running training?
Whether you want to run for health and fitness, weight loss, competition, or fun, if you have never run seriously before it is extremely important to understand the basics of running and how to train appropriately.
Important factors when training for a running event are:
- correct footwear
- nutrition and hydration
- volume of training leading to a event
- strength and conditioning.
If you have never run before it is important not to jump straight into running long distances often as this will likely cause injury and disappointment.
The Super Sunset Series is a fantastic way to introduce you to a fun run with the event encouraging participants of all ages and abilities to enter this great community event.
For extra help with kick starting you into training for the event, highly experienced trainers at Active Melbourne recreation facilities can sit down with you and help with planning a suitable program to train for your chosen event. To book in for an assessment or speak to a health and fitness professional visit your local recreation facility this summer.
