Keys to Success
π’
Pace
Slower than you think. You should be able to hold a full conversation the whole time.
π
Schedule
3 runs per week, any days you like! Just try to rest at least one day between each run so your legs can recover.
π
Shoes
If yours are old or cross-trainers, visit a running store before week 3. It makes such a difference!
π
Ramadan
Run just before Iftar or 1β1.5 hrs after breaking fast. Hydrate hard at Suhoor. Keep effort easy.
π
Pre-Run Fuel
Banana + peanut butter, oatmeal, or toast with eggs. Eat 1β2 hours before. Nothing heavy or new!
π«
Post-Run Fuel
Eat within 45 min β carbs + protein. Chocolate milk is genuinely great for recovery!
π΄
Rest Days
Just as important as run days. Don't skip them β that's actually when your body gets stronger.
β¨
Runner's High
Kicks in after 30β40 min of continuous running. You'll start feeling it around weeks 6β7. So worth it!
π
Race Day β Saturday, May 2nd
Start slower than feels right. The crowd energy will tempt you to sprint β don't! Trust your 8 weeks and enjoy every single step. π
