Think outside the classroom! Training doesn't have to be boring. Consider gamification techniques, like role-playing or interactive simulations, to make learning more engaging. Your team will be more likely to retain what they learn and enjoy the experience. #TrainingTipTuesday

Be process-oriented, not outcome-oriented. Get a little better with each training session—a longer run, a harder effort on speed intervals. Try not to obsess about race day. #TrainingTipTuesday
Food is fuel! Make sure you come up with a plan to eat an hour before your run to boost energy without upsetting your stomach. Once you finish, you should eat within the next 15 minutes — it helps the body re-synthesize muscle glycogen & recover more quickly. #TrainingTipTuesday
Running should feel like a reward, so choose the right playlist! Many people like upbeat music or short podcasts or books on tape to accompany them on the run. Some prefer the peace and quiet that running can provide. Choose what's best for you on race day #TrainingTipTuesday
Feeling a bit bored of your running routine? Shake it Up! Most people can only listen to the same song so many times before getting tired of it. The same goes for running. That’s why it is important to do a variety of running exercises while you train. #TrainingTipTuesday
Even after doing all the right things to prep for your run, sometimes you'll still have to experience those spasm-like cramps in your abdomen. When you feel a side stitch coming on, take a deep breath to arch your back and try to run more upright. #TrainingTipTuesday
Adjust, Adjust. Adjust! Whether you are using a training program, working with others or just training by yourself, you are your best advocate. Check in with yourself regularly and you should know your fitness level better than anyone or any program does! #TrainingTipTuesday
Need some inspiration for your training? Try these 3 workouts: Speed runs are meant to build your strength and make you go faster. Long runs help your body and mind prepare. Recovery runs are just as important and experts suggest including two each week #TrainingTipTuesday
There will be good days and there will be bad days during your training journey. This can happen for a variety of reasons but remember to always listen to what your body is telling you. Focus on the effort you are exerting, not just the numbers. #TrainingTipTuesday
Recovery is just as important as training! Depending on how you feel, you can run a few easy miles, do active recovery with stretches and yoga, or take the whole day off. These days are meant to recharge your battery for the following training day or week. #TrainingTipTuesday
