Types of Running Shoes• Cushioning
– Moderate – high arch– Maximum cushion– Little arch support
• Stability– Normal Arch– Mild to moderate pronation– Some support & cushioning
• Motion Control– Flat Feet– Overpronation – Most support/stability

– Suitably padded running shoes are recommended, with particular consideration of foot type

Progression
• Change only one variable at a time to help avoid injury and burnout. For example:Increase distance orIncrease intensity orIncrease pace
• The 10% Rule - never add more than 10% to existing distance each week
A runner runs against himself, against the best that’s in him.” --Bill Pearsons

Training Principles
1. Individual differences– One size does NOT fit all
2. Specificity– Need to RUN to improve
your RUN time
3. Use/Disuse– “Use it or lose it”

Training Principles
4. Overload– Must increase stresses on body to improve
5. Progression– Gradually increase loads to decrease risk of
injury
6. Adaptation– Must train your body to be able to adjust to new
demands 22

Common Running Mistakes
• Starting too fast• Little or no warm-up and/or cool-down• Eating too much beforehand• Dehydration
23
![Page 22: Running For Dummies Ramstein HAWC Anybody can be a runner. We were meant to move. We were meant to run. Its the easiest sport. –Bill Rodgers.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070306/551805f55503466e558b483f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Warm-Up• To increase core muscle
temperature• To improve cooling of body• To dilate blood vessels which
decreases stress on the heart• To help muscles contract and
relax more quickly which allows for faster and stronger movements
Components of Warm-Up:
5-10 minutes walk/jog
OPTIONAL Stretch24
![Page 23: Running For Dummies Ramstein HAWC Anybody can be a runner. We were meant to move. We were meant to run. Its the easiest sport. –Bill Rodgers.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070306/551805f55503466e558b483f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Cool-Down• To help displace lactic acid build-
up• To prevent blood pooling which
increases swelling• To allow for heart rate recovery
Components of Cool-Down:
5-10 minutes walk/jog
Static Stretch: Hold 20-30 seconds and repeat 25
![Page 24: Running For Dummies Ramstein HAWC Anybody can be a runner. We were meant to move. We were meant to run. Its the easiest sport. –Bill Rodgers.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070306/551805f55503466e558b483f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Endurance vs Speed
• Focus on endurance first• Be able to walk/jog 3 miles• Then progress to jog/run 3 miles• Then work on increasing speed
26
![Page 25: Running For Dummies Ramstein HAWC Anybody can be a runner. We were meant to move. We were meant to run. Its the easiest sport. –Bill Rodgers.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070306/551805f55503466e558b483f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Training Types• Distance - long with a slow pace
• Interval - high intensity for 3-5 minutes with equal rest periods (400-800 m)– Speedwork is essential to running faster; can be done
several ways (hills, against wind, controlled on track)
• Tempo -continuous run with an easy beginning, a buildup in the middle to race pace, then ease back to finish
27

Sample Speed Workouts
INTERVALS• 5-10 min warm-up• Workout
– 400 m hard– 400 m recovery– Repeat 2-6 times
• 5-10 min cool-down
4 x 400 = 2 miles of work
TEMPO• 5-10 min warm-up• Workout
– Distance (1.5 mi)– Time (10 min)
• 5-10 min cool-down

Calories Burned
32
What's the Burn? A Calorie Calculator
You can use the formulas below to determine your calorie-burn while running and walking. The "Net Calorie Burn" measures calories burned, minus basal metabolism. Scientists consider this the best way to evaluate the actual calorie-burn of any exercise. The walking formulas apply to speeds of 3 to 4 mph. At 5 mph and faster, walking burns more calories than running.
Your Total Calorie Burn/Mile Your Net Calorie Burn/Mile
Running .75 x your weight (in lbs.) .63 x your weight
Walking .53 x your weight .30 x your weight
Adapted from "Energy Expenditure of Walking and Running," Medicine & Science in Sport & Exercise, Cameron et al, Dec. 2004.

Safety Tips• Run against traffic so you can observe
approaching vehicles• Don’t wear headsets if running near traffic• Be aware of your surroundings and stay alert• Wear reflective material if running before
dawn or after dark• Run with a partner

Hydration• Before: drink 2 cups of water 15-20 min prior to
running • During: drink 1 cup per every 15 min of running• After: drink 16oz of fluid per pound of body weight
• >60 Min look to either sport drink or sports gels– Depends on personal tolerance to sugar

Injury Prevention
• Most injuries are musculoskeletal• Most are self-inflicted
– Running too far, too fast, too soon or too often– RICE to aid in the recovery process
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation35

Tips for Injury Prevention
• Wear good running shoes• Run on appropriate running surface• Include cross training (different kinds of physical
activities, not just running)• Include active rest periods• Properly warm-up/cool-down with stretching after• Follow training principles (avoid overprogression)

Training for the 1.5 Mile Run
1) First focus on endurance– Distance (Long): easy pace– Hills (for 5k runners)
2) Then focus on speed– Intervals: 400-800m hard, followed by recovery– Tempo Runs: “speed endurance”
3) Don’t forget to practice the test38
