Some days I slip on my sports bra and sneaks and I feel so light and strong – like I could keep going and going. Other days it seems like my legs are trudging through mud. What gives? We can’t prevent bad running days entirely, but here are a few things you can do in order to have more good days than bad. Get enough sleep the night before. Hit the hay early enough so you get seven to nine hours of shut-eye. Make sure you’re hydrated. Not drinking the appropriate amount of water before and during your workout can lead to dizziness, headaches, decreased energy and performance, dry mouth, and cramps. A few hours before running, drink about 15 to 20 ounces . Drink another eight to 10 ounces 10 to 15 minutes before heading out. Eat

before your run. Remember that food is fuel. If you’re not working out for five or so hours, enjoy a meal that contains protein, fat, and carbs . Several hours before a run, eat a meal that’s under 500 calories. Thirty to 90 minutes before you head out, enjoy a carb-loaded low-fat snack. If you’re working out first thing in the a.m., fuel up with easily digestible carbs that are low in fiber. Getting too much fiber can cause major cramps during your run. Hit the ladies room. There’s no need to carry unnecessary weight with you, so if you can relieve yourself before your run, you’ll feel much lighter and will be less likely to experience belly aches.
