Staying injury free

Hey everybody - I hope you are enjoying your training.  Please remember that it is important to lay out your training program and stick with it.  

What happens when life gets in the way?  Or you get sick?  

If you miss a day or even two, that is ok.  Just pick up with the program where you left off.  If you feel that you can not complete the distance for that day, no worries.  Listen to your body, try a walk/run workout.  You might have jumped back into your program a little premature.  Your body could still be recovering from being sick.  

Now if you missed a week or more, let's talk about how we can adjust the program to work for you.  It is important, that you do not jump ahead in the program unless your body is prepared...especially if you have not been doing any exercise.  This is how many people become injured.  They rush the workouts and add too much mileage.  Too much, too soon leads to problems.

LISTEN to your body!  If you are having pain with the run, go to a walk. Cross training might become your best friend for awhile and that is ok.  

If you start having pain, please contact me and we can work it out!  

Happy Training, Nicole (trainwithnicolego@gmail.com)
