Running Tips
From my running training for my half marathon, I have learned that your need to have a running plan. When me and my two sisters started our half marathon training, we knew we didn't want to run seven days a week, and we knew we needed a plan. So, my sisters and I decided we would run five days a week. Everyday, but Wednesday, and Sunday, we ran. We ran 2-4 miles each day except for Saturday, when we ran our long runs. We tried to work our way up a mile a week in our long runs.
I also learned, that to be a good runner, you need to stay hydrated. Drinking water has never been problem for me, but I did increase how much water I drank. I have always carried a water bottle around, so when I started running, I tried to drink at least one whole water bottle. My water bottle was roughly 16oz.
So, from running, I have learned you need a running schedule and you need to drink lots of water to stay hydrated.
Thank you so much for visiting Love, Caroline! I would love to hear from you by leaving a comment below or contacting me through email. Your support is always so appreciated! Have a great rest of the week!!

Is your race over or are you still training? Definitely, adding water is a must. I am also so much more hungry throughout the day when training for a half/full marathon. Will you train for another? Best of luck with your plans!
ReplyDeleteI finished training for my half marathon already, but my sister and I plan to do a triathalon in the spring. I would love to train for a full marathon as well.

Carrying around my water bottle with me has definitely helped me increase my water intake. Although, I sort of stopped doing it a once Christmas break hit..maybe I'll pick it back up again. It was a really good habit. Good for you for train for a half-marathon..me and running don't get along very well ;)
