Glen's Favorite Products and Tips:
It is generally accepted that the ideal cadence or leg turnover is 90 strides or 180 steps per minute. For example, for 15 seconds count everytime your right foot hits the ground (should be about 22) and multiply by 4 and you should be very close to 90, and that is 180 steps. If needed, adjust your cadence up or down. Work on this and your running efficiency will improve. Arm swing dictates leg turnover, so a compact arm carriage will facilitate a quick arm swing which will facilitate a good quick leg turnover. It is easier to reach 90 strides per minute if you don't overstride - letting your lead leg get too far in front of you making you land on your heels - so work on landing directly below your upper body, and that will decrease the work your hamstrings need to do. Work on that for a few weeks and notice the results, and later we'll add to it.
Warmup: Do 30 seconds of shallow squats and/or lunges to warmup inside before you start running. Walking or a slow jog for a few minutes will help warm and loosen tight muscles.
Running: Occasionally swing your arms in big circles to keep your arms and shoulders loose and your hands warmer.
Warmdown: Stretch for even a few minutes without shoes on and sip some recovery drink. After hard workouts, get some carbs and protien in your body within 30 minutes to help recover and build up muscles.
Therapy: Flex-Power, for warmup and recovery. Put on before a workout to warm up sore muscles. It will help prevent and relieve and soothe soreness after hard workouts. Use Dr Hoy's Natural Pain Relief Gel with Arnica as an effective anti-inflammatory .
Also, the Stick and FootRubz for tired muscles and feet, before and after running or work.
Core: Keep your core warm along with head, and neck to keep extemities warm.
Head: Halo Headbands, Visors, and Caps. They keep sweat out of your eyes.
Shell: Pearl Izumi Fly Jacket. Ultra light, ultra packable, water and wind resistant.
Visibility: Safety Light, obnixious flashing light with clip for $6.
