[Sick!! on run!!]

Hi! 

Im fairly new here. Me and a group of work colleagues recently decided to start running in our spare time. 

We meet at least once a week, but to help in between Iv been using C25K to keep me motivated... however iv hit an issue!! 

When I run/jog in group I regularly feel sick, figured it was just because it was early morning (I'm not a morning person) and often haven't had a proper breakfast.

However, tonight following app, with the dog, I started getting stomach cramps, which I decided to slowly jog through... until I was stopped in my tracks to be sick in the hedge. 

Have I pushed it to far to fast?? Do others experience this? And how do I overcome it?? 

I don't want this to stop my running, as I'm actually starting to enjoy it. But I'm not good with sick, and I don't think I can cope with this regularly. 

 

Help 

 

Hi Kez,

Actually, I don't think you have to stop running.
I'm a morning person kind and surprise: I don't have breakfast (on my normal running day, I'll eat on long run day.) . The problem here is that you are not really get used to to it.

Solution for this: 

During harder training sessions and races, your body uses carbohydrates (stored in the muscles as glycogen) as its main fuel (energy) source. You're only able to store a relatively small amount of carbohydrate, which is why keeping it topped up is so important.

During low intensity exercise, such as jogging or walking, the body burns fat as its main energy source. Therefore, fuelling with carbohydrates isn’t as crucial and a high protein meal or snack before your run will do the job.

I recommend you should eat at least 30 minutes before your run.

With other stomach cramps, maybe the problem is that your breath way.

"One of the most important aspects of fitness Best Fitness Tracker these days is being able to track activity levels. With the reviews in this best fitness tracker 2018 list, you’ll be able to find an activity tracker to do just that.

Hi guys! It's AL here!

I've begun to run for 6 months. I had little knowlegde on running. I'm trying to get better at the moment!

I've a trail running challenge on March in which I have to run 50k for the first time on jungle and mountain landscape.

I've read many tips and tricks for first time jungle marathoners. However, I don't really understand about fitness tracker. Which brand I should chosse? Apple, Garmin, Fitbit,... ??? and Which type should I choose? Which modem I should use? Does you guys have any suggestion?  Thank you first!!

P.S: I would love to buy a waterproof fitness tracker one (Because I live in tropical weather country).

[Newbie, Made Mistake]

Hi Rhonda,

 

There're many running schedule out there. However, base on your target and running "power" right now you should have one for your own.

I'll help you. 

First, you should tell me:

- How old are you?

- How long have you run?

- The longest distance you could run?

- What's gears you're using ? (Fitness tracker or smartwatch, types of clothes, shoes,etc....)

- Your running target.

I'm about to challenge 50k trail runner this March to celebrate my husband's birthday.

 

If you have any question on running, just ask me. I'll try to answer with my little knowledge.

I am new here so I don't know anyone one here but I know a fabulous nutritionist if you still need one

Who's that my friend? is she/he on zen forum??? Could you give me some of her'his information?

I would love if there's an expert who experienced many marathons.

I also want to ask about equipments and running tips.

I'm planning on buying a new fitness tracker, maybe it would be Garmin Fore Runner GTX 750 or a Fitbit Flex 2,... they're all waterproof. I think it's useful when running thorugh jungle with GPS function. 

[How to generate a diet for best FM]

I'm a runners for not too long and even don't care about food to eat for best effort.
However, I realized my record still remain for many months now even I've cross training exercises along with my plan.

[breathing techniques]

Hi there! 
Thank you very much for the guide!
I've read it for about one week and follow for 3 runs. the first was the hardest when I didn't feel comfortable (probably because I was not ready).

On second run, I finally get used to it... And I felt better!!!

On the third run on Saturday, my breathing was easy then ever before.
Actually, I mixed your technique with my technique. I saw the result was awesome.

I gonna going for a new HM PR now!!!!

[Trail running]

I'm a fan of bare-foot running too! xD

But, this March trail will be the first trail for me, I'm going to try 50 miles challenge!

I've read many technique too and I think the more you run on trail simulated ground the better you will do.
However, I prefer sightseeing when running!!!!

[Stretching?]

Just starting out and I know I need to do some stretching, but when should I stretch ? What stretches should i be doing? 

 

I was thinking that i should pause the program after the warm up walk is done and do my stretching before i start jogging?

 

what do you do?

You should jogging for 1-2 miles first before stretching. the shorter you run, the more you need to stretch.
Here'a routine I use:

Quadriceps

Hamstrings

CALF

Iliotibial band

Piriformits

PSOAS

Gluteal Muscles
Groin

Spine Stretch

Lower Back

When your heart rate going up to 105 -122 (ZONE 2) It's when you ready to run! You should have a running fitness checker to check it!
Happy running!
