From eating a healthy snack to drinking ample amount of water, there are several pre-running rituals that you should follow.

1: Drink Water

This is one of the most important and known things that you should do before you go for a run. But only few of us do us in an appropriate manner.

Hydrating self is important but one shouldn’t overdo it. It is very difficult to actually calculate how much amount of water you need to drink, as it depends from person to person.

There are many things that need to be taken care of: like the weather and the distance you are planning to cover.

Do NOT over hydrate yourself, as it will cause stomach ache within minutes of running.


2: Stretching

Perhaps a light cardio or normal stretching exercise would do. You do not want to feel the stress in your muscles when you run.

This will result in further pain in your joints. Wear proper shoes, and always remember that running shoes are always light shoes. Running barefoot is more advisable if you are comfortable and have been practicing it!


3: Eat Well

Eating well before you go for a run is very important. Do not load yourselves with carbohydrates in one big meal, but instead, consume carbs the entire day.

You also need proteins for rebuilding the muscles and all aspects of normal body function. Try to stay away from spicy food, and add a healthy dose of vegetables.


4: Set a Goal

From a different place to the time of running, always run for a purpose. Setting a goal for yourself will help to achieve that goal more effectively. Because to get something, knowing what you want is very important.



5: Play Nice Songs

This one is optional! Sometimes some pump up song encourages us to go out and do some exercise. So play your favorite song, and get ready for some good running. Music will elevate your mood and your energy level.

But what most people do not know that listening to a good song actually maintains your heart rate.
