​πŸͺ Here’s How Long To Wait After Eating To Run​

One of the most common questions I get from runners, beginners and seasoned athletes alike, is: β€œHow long should I wait after eating before I run?”

The truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The ideal waiting time depends on the type of run, the duration, the time of day, and what you’ve eaten.

β€‹πŸ˜“ The 7 Most Common Running Injuries + How To Treat Them​

Running injuries are extremely common; in fact, a mind-boggling 50% of runners get injured each year, according to Yale Medicine.

Getting injured as a runner can be incredibly demoralizing. It can stop our training in its tracks and grind to a halt any momentum we had.

The good news is most injuries are preventable.

To be a strong, fit, and healthy runner, there is more to running than just running.

Our training plan jigsaw puzzle has so many different pieces to ensure we stay happy and healthy throughout our workout routine.

Some of these essential components include warming up, stretching, strength training, sports massage, healthy eating, mobility work, sufficient sleep, hydration, and, you guessed it, cross-training.

β€‹πŸ«€ Why Is My Heart Rate So High When I Run? 11 Possibilities Behind An Elevated HR​

Whether you train exclusively based on your heart rate or just like to have a general idea during your workouts, noticing a higher-than-expected heart rate can raise questions.

When these patterns show up, it’s often a sign to examine factors like your stress level, recovery, sleep, hydration, training plan, and pacing, all of which can elevate your heart rate.
