Come and get these often overlooked running tips.
1. Time
Research shows: The best time to run is in the afternoon. In summer, after 4 PM to avoid the midday sun, and in autumn and winter, after 4 PM when the air quality is relatively better. By 10 PM, the body and brain start to feel tired, making it easier to fall asleep. Morning exercisers may feel fatigued by noon. It's recommended not to run after 9 PM, as exercising at this time can overly excite the brain and cause insomnia.
2. Alcohol consumption
After running, your body functions are at a high level. It's crucial not to drink alcohol at this time, as the body absorbs alcohol faster than usual, causing more harm to organs and potentially leading to fatty liver, cirrhosis, gastritis, gastric ulcers, and dementia.
3. Protein supplementation
After running, many runners choose to supplement their bodies with protein to aid recovery. Indeed, protein promotes muscle growth, increasing muscle mass and helping to burn more calories, aiding in weight loss. However, one should not overconsume meat or protein-rich foods. It's important to also consume vegetables and fruits. Protein metabolism produces acidic byproducts that can cause fatigue, while vegetables and fruits can neutralize these acids, maintaining the body's acid-base balance.
4. Do not stretch while playing with your phone
Many runners like to play with their phones while stretching after a run. This is incorrect! When stretching, each set of movements should not have long intervals. Your focus should be on the muscles you are working on. Playing with your phone distracts you, increasing the time between sets and reducing the effectiveness of the stretch.
5. Drink less sports drinks
If your run is less than half an hour, avoid sports drinks. For runs lasting an hour, you can drink a small amount of sports drinks, but not too much, as they are high in sugar and can replace the energy you just burned.
6. Walk before running on a treadmill
If you prefer indoor running, it's even more important to warm up. Many indoor runners start running immediately on the treadmill, which should be avoided. Start with a 15-minute walk-jog before reaching your normal running speed. Warm-up exercises increase muscle temperature, making muscles more flexible and less prone to injury.
