How to Not Get Injured

1. Stretch after every run

After running is the prime time to get stretching in because all of your muscles will be loose, and having flexibility is actually a vital part in staying healthy!

2.Warm up for work- outs Properly
Never jump straight into an intense workout with out warming up your muscles first, that's just asking to pull something.

3. Ice any muscles that may be sore

Either taking just a bag of ice and resting it on that area for 10-20 minutes or directly massaging ice over an injury can really help get inflammation down.

4. Know that Advil is your best friend

Popping a couple of these prior to running just helps the body recover quicker!

5. Rest your body even when you don't want to

The amount of girls who just end up getting more hurt on the track team because they didn't speak up the first time they felt pain is really too much! Always voice your concerns!

 

 

 

6. Stay hydrated and put in the right nutrients!

Easy to remember in the summer, but in the winter too it's just as important to keep fueling your body!
