Bring On the Fitness, Family, and Fun! Spring is here, and you know what that means. It means outdoor races are beginning. Follow these tips to help you nail this race season: • Use a training plan that allows you to increase your intensity and mileage gradually.
• Train with the gear, clothing, and nutrition that you plan to use on race day. • Prepare for the unexpected. This could be a gear malfunction or a change in weather conditions.
• Listen to your body. If you are feeling pain or discomfort, rest, ice, and stretch. If the pain will not go away, seek help from a medical professional. 34 www.sghealthandwellnessmagazine.com
