If you are someone who typically enjoys running or jogging, then I’m sure that you know that running can become a lifelong career, experience, or lifestyle for you. If you are going to be a long-term runner or running is going to be a long-term activity that you want as a part of your lifestyle for the here and now, but also the hereafter, keep reading or watch the full video here.
Successful Long-Term Runners
As a long-term runner, one of the things that you can not neglect is fitness training. Many people who have run for long periods of time since they were in high school and throughout their 30s and 40s find out that at some point in time that they injure themselves. Here’s the thing you have to realize and you can’t miss out on: Fitness Training is extremely important to being a successful runner.
Fitness Training
Fitness training means that you are not necessarily training in a running fashion, but you are training the key elements of your body that are necessary for performing running. Running in itself will not build your muscular and joint performance to its fullest. If you incorporate fitness training where you specifically target your joints, muscles, body groups, and major parts of your body that are involved in the running process, they will actually perform their best when you’re running.
Specificity of activity is also really important, meaning if you want to get better at basketball — play more basketball. If you want to get better at football — play more football. So in the same way, if you want to get better at running — do more running. Even with this in mind, you have to realize that you must target those key parts of your body in a fitness training style in an isolated fashion that helps those key body parts to perform at their best when you are running.
You can train those parts of your body without running. This will be really great to add to your lifestyle because if injuries come, you’d have to target those areas of your body anyway since they were likely underlying weaknesses that you didn’t notice until it broke down.
If you are someone who runs a lot, I want to encourage you to get fitness training into your running lifestyle and incorporate it because it’s really important.
