How to get your breath back? There is still a lot of controversy for years on the existence of the phenomenon like getting one's breath back. A report by Toy Shepherd says that 20 students took an arduous exercise on the treadmill. Students were enquired by some research workers in the 1-minute break. 18 students' breath improved and 14 students' legs relieved. You will go through the stage of getting your breath back and experience it.
You will understand how to run through all kinds of weathers. There are 2 factors you should watch outheat and moisture} These 2 elements slow your pace so that you cannot run in August as fast as that in April. Summer-heat and moisture make you uncomfortable. If the temperature at noon raises over 80 degree Fahrenheit, try to run early at morning or after sunset.
Summer-heat becomes not so hard since you have been used to the hot weather after running some. But you have to spend about a week adapting yourself to the running in the hot completely. As for a rainy day, you never have to stop running so long as you follow the suggestion in Chapter 13.
Relaxing exercises are necessary. Don't stop suddenly after you finish your running. Spend some time in calming down yourself which involves taking a simple walk or stretching exercises you usually do before running. It is good to do some stretching exercises after running. Muscles are warm and soft enough for you to make a stretch. Try to calm down your body within 8 to 10 minutes in order to excrete the metabolic wastes from the muscles. There should be no more than 20 times in your pulse between before and after exercise.
Some runners take a cold bath to alleviate muscle pain especially after a long-distance run. Inflammation and ache can be relieved by taking a cold bath for it can cool down your whole body, not just small scale, immediately. If you can not stand the cold bath, put an ice pack to your painful joint to soothe the injury.
Don't wait too long to eat after a long run or hard workout. Studies have shown that muscles are most receptive to rebuilding glycogen (stored glucose) stores within the first 30 minutes after exercise. If you eat soon after your workout, you can minimize muscle stiffness and soreness. A good rule of thumb for post-run food is a ratio of 1 gram of protein to 3 grams of carbohydrates and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or a smoothie made with fruit and yogurt is a good choice. Be sure to drink some water, especially in the summer. Plain water is a better choice. But some runners are fond of sports drinks such as chocolate milk in stead of post-run snack.
How to protect your feet? You'd better run on a softer field but not a hard one, a playground with track is a better choice. Foot bath with hot water has many advantages as it is beneficial to both your morning exercise the next day and fatigue alleviation and you'd better at least take it after running and before sleep.
