  • Runners exert a lot of energy on a regular basis. Running can be energizing and exciting, but it can also wear you out if you don’t take care of yourself. It is very important that runners take care of themselves mentally, physically, and emotionally. A have a few favorite self-care tips for runners to share with you:⭕️ Make Rest Days Truly about RestI know from my own experience that running can be addictive, and once you feel that runner’s high, you can’t get enough! But it is important to make sure you are taking time to rest and let your body recover. Make your rest days truly about rest. It can be tempting to replace your rest days with some other form of intense exercise, but you’ll be able to perform better in the long run if you let your body rest.⭕️ StretchStretching is a great way to loosen tight muscles and help your body to recover after a run. I always make it a point to do a stretching routine after I finish any run. I have found that when I stretch, I don’t feel as sore the next day. It is important that you warm up your muscles before stretching, you should never stretch cold muscles.⭕️ Stay HydratedHydration is super important for runners. Water delivers nutrients to working muscles and assists in temperature regulation. Improving your hydration will improve your running performance. It will also make you feel better and have more energy during runs. Drinking enough water is an excellent way to take care of your body and prepare yourself for optimum running performance.For more tips like this, check out my blog!

  • My favorite benefit of running…Feeling the Endorphins 🧠It’s no secret that running is good for your mental health. There is evidence that suggests that running releases chemicals in your brain that help to elevate your mood.I discovered these benefits when I first started to run. The mood boost is what really hooked me in. I challenge you to go for a run and see if you feel better mentally when you are done. This can be an excellent motivator to keep doing more runs.Does you notice the running mood boost?#running #runningforwellness #runner #runtips #runningbenefits #runningmotivation #runcoach #runningcommunity #runningcoach
  • Here’s my running tip for the day!Get Some Awesome Running Gear That Excites You…The first time I tried running, I wore a baggy cotton t-shirt and some ill-fitting Soffe shorts (huge mistake). It was uncomfortable and I also felt self-conscious about how I looked. I didn’t believe I was a “real” runner yet, and the awkward clothing choices kind of reinforced that feeling.Everything changed after I went out and bought some actual running gear. I found bright-colored form-fitting moisture-wicking shirts, running leggings, and athletic shorts that were made specifically for running.Not only did the clothing feel much better to run in…I also felt much more confident and actually excited to run. I loved my new running clothes and they made me excited to wear them.Do you get excited about new running gear?#running #runningforwellness #runningformentalhealth #runner #runningcoach #womensrunningcommunity #runnersofinstagram #runnergirl #womenrunning #irun #runningismytherapy

  • Finding the right pair of running shoes can be really confusing and overwhelming. There are so many options, where do you even start? It can be difficult to pick the right pair of running shoes.One of the most frequently asked questions that I get from new runners is about what type of running shoes they should wear.My advice is always this: I recommend that all runners get a professional running shoe fitting to determine which running shoe is best for them. Many running stores provide complimentary running shoe fittings. They will discuss your goals with you so that they can identify a shoe that best meets your specific needs.Many running stores like @fleetfeetpitt have really cool 3D Technology that scans your feet and takes precise measurements. They will diagnose your step, stride, and stance to find a shoe that is best for you!An investment in the right running shoes is an investment in your health! ☺️👟👟👟#runningforwellness #run #runner #runningtips #runningtip #runningmotivation #runningcommunity #runningshoes #runningismytherapy #womensrunningcommunity #health #womenrunning #runningformentalhealth
