Are you ready for the cold weather?!
Don't let the chilly fall weather rolling in stop you, prepare yourself!
Make sure to have the right gear to keep your feet and body properly protected from the cold. When first adjusting to the temperature change focus more on stamina then speed, get your breathing regulated and adjusted. A pre run warm-up is a good idea as well, just don't push it to the point that you're sweating and then going out into the cool weather. A quick burst of tidying up the house works just fine:-)

Side Cramps slowing you down? Take these tips into consideration on your next run;

1. You want fuel to keep your going, but overdoing it and running on a full stomach can cause stomach side stitch cramps.

2. When you feel that sharp side stitching pain, concentrate on your breathing. Incorrect breathing causes the majority of cramps. Taking into too much oxygen doesn't allow you to get rid of enough CO2 in your lungs. Slow your breathing, and your pace down if needed, and focus on slow deep breaths.

3. Keep working those abdominal and lower back muscles! The stronger your core, the less chance you will experience side cramps.

4. Do some side torso stretching before you take off on your next run, simple and effective.

5. Make sure your getting enough water! You're intake of water should be consistent throughout the day, but make sure you're not getting all of your hydration during your run. That can cause pains that will slow your pace done drastically!
