The 10 Commandments of Keep on Running.

A customized running schedule is just the beginning. Here are some more helpful tips!

Swipe to view all tips.

Know your limits.
Before starting a new training schedule, it's best to stop and think about what your personal running abilities and goals are. What distance can you easily handle? How much time do you have to train? If you have any doubts about your physical readiness, it is best to ask a doctor for advice first.
Follow a training schedule tailored to your needs.
Performance is built on solid foundations. Choose a customized training schedule for yourself and push your limits!
Get extra energy from your diet.
The body gets the energy to run from burning carbohydrates and fats. So a healthy runner ensures that supplies of these are always kept up. You can replenish them by eating and drinking purposefully, but there are also expertly balanced sports foods and drinks to use before, during or after your running training or race.
Get advice when buying running shoes.
You avoid a lot of injuries by wearing running shoes that are adapted to your foot type, body weight and training intensity. At Runners' lab, a footscan® analysis can help you choose the right running shoes.
Stay on top of injuries.
Don't keep running too long with ailments or injuries. After all, the cause of most running injuries can be discovered from a running analysis. And when the cause is known, a solution is not far away. In addition to the standard footscan® analysis at Runners' lab, you can also have a detailed motion analysis done in the Prolab Zwijndrecht to improve your running posture and technique.
Choose the right substrate.
As much as possible, look for soft ground to walk on. Examples include forest or park roads. It is often impossible to avoid asphalt these days. Especially for those who live in the city. Therefore, it is hugely important that running shoes have adequate shock absorption.
Dress like a runner.
Functional clothing is more important than you might think. The synthetic fabrics of such clothing protect the body from rain, wind or low temperatures and provide good ventilation.
Follow the rhythm of your heart.
To measure is to know. That principle also applies to those who run. Your heart rate tells you how hard you are training and how your condition is. To train efficiently with a heart rate monitor, you should first undergo an exercise test.
Make your running training more exciting.
There are several running gadgets that make running a lot more enjoyable. For those who do not like running the same lap over and over again, but still want to know running distance and speed, for example, a foot-pod or runners' GPS is an indispensable tool.
Dare to push your ambitions.
Find recreational and competitive running events near you. Set yourself a personal goal or challenge a running partner to a duel.
