5 tips to maintain your running motivation!
  • Herzog Medical

You can train your willpower! Want to know how?

Is your discipline currently hard to find? The rainy weather, the 'post-holiday blues', or muscle soreness from your last workout... plenty of excuses to skip your training again. Often under the guise of: 'yes, but tomorrow I'll really start running'. Do you catch yourself sticking to your fitness resolutions for a week and then neglecting them again? How can you ensure you maintain your running drive? This has everything to do with willpower. Well... that's stating the obvious. But did you know that you can train that willpower very easily? We give you 5 tips to stick to your resolutions.

5 tips to maintain your running motivation!

Track your progress

Install a sports app, such as Strava, that monitors your activities and progress. Strava uses GPS to track the basics of your running session: time, distance, speed, and a route map of where you ran at what time. In addition, the app provides a nice weekly overview of the kilometers you've covered. How cool is it to see this number increase a little every week? Do you want to approach running in a very structured way? Strava also offers the option to set a 'weekly goal'.

Reward yourself

Treat yourself to something new for your sports wardrobe once in a while. With a comfortable sports outfit, your self-confidence automatically gets a boost! And besides, it's extra fun to stroll through the park in a beautiful, new set. Herzog PRO Sport Compression Socksand tubesare a fashionable and functional accessory. When running, you reduce the risk of Achilles tendon pain, calf problems, and shin splints. Due to the shock-absorbing effect of the socks, there is less pulling on your tendons and Achilles tendon. Also, less muscle tissue damage occurs. The effect? Less muscle soreness and legs that feel fresh for your next run! Herzog socks are available in all sorts of colors and complete your sports look.

Get enough sleep

This might sound a bit cliché… Everyone knows how important a good night's sleep is. But did you know that too little sleep also has a big impact on your willpower? After a short night, refueling with coffee or quick sugars often doesn't work. When you have regular nights and sleep 7/8 hours, you wake up rested. This does a lot for your energy level and automatically makes it easier to jump into your running shoes fresh and energized in the morning.

After these tips, still an excuse not to go out…? I didn't think so: you'll enter autumn fit!

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
