Feel Your Best While Training

3 easy tips to feel your best:

1) TIME YOUR SLEEP

Groggy when the alarm goes off? Set your buzzer for a total sleep time that’s a multiple of 90 minutes (7.5 hours or 9 hours, for example), the length of the average sleep cycle, so that you’re not woken up during deep sleep.

2) LET GO

Pick one day a week and run just for the sake of running without measuring your pace or distance. Forget gadgets and tune in to how your body feels.

3) DON’T STRESS

Hard workouts and work deadlines both trigger the fight-or-flight response, which makes you more susceptible to colds. During stressful weeks, don’t push yourself through your hardest workouts.
