Let's start a podcast...
Episode 1 covers a little bit of everything starting with Alex's "social distancing dating life", running with dogs and running right now during this crazy time, how/why we started running, and more! New Episodes released bi-weekly (maybe more, maybe less) as we try to navigate the podcast world!
RECAP NOTES:
Tips for Running with Your Dog
Get your dog used to running on a leash by building up slowly.
Get a harness and a running belt.
Don’t expect to run the same pace as your dog. In the beginning your dog might go out hard and fast. You will need to train them to even out their pace over time.
Build trust and make it fun for them.
Don’t let your dog pull you while you are running together. This will help keep your dogs from hurting their joints.
Use verbal commands like “leave it” to remind the dog not to chase an animal or approach other people or dogs.
It will take time for you and your dog to get into sync and figure out how to run together.
Tips for New Runners
Start with the run walk method. This method uses interval training with a mix of walking and running for a short period of time. Try walking for 3 minutes and running for 2 minute. Repeat this 4-6 times.
Start small. Each time you head out add a little more. Your first run can be just down the street or around the block. Eventually build up your time and/or distance.
You don’t need to go and buy new shoes. Use the shoes and clothing you have in your closet.
Check out MapMyRun’s Route Finder to find routes other runners have run in your neighborhood or region.
For all those runners we are no longer training for a race, continue to run long if you want to. You know what your body and mind needs right now. If you have been training for a big race and no longer have that race, cut back your mileage but keep running. Have fun with the run and add in some speed play.
Make sure to join the #WaveHello campaign. Wave, smile or even say hello to those who you passby on your run, while staying 6 feet apart of course. By acknowledging another’s presence through such a simple gesture it can bring comfort and truly brighten someone else’s day, especially right now. You can also record a fun short video or take a photo of yourself waving to the camera when you are out and about on your run and share the same with us.
