🦝 STRIDER QUICK TIPSometimes the smartest workout is knowing when not to work out.Running and walking challenge your body. Recovery gives it the opportunity to adapt, rebuild and get ready for the next round of miles. 💚💤 Rest🥤 Rehydrate🍽️ Refuel🚶 Keep easy days easyRemember: Recovery is training, too.👇 Be honest—which is harder for you: getting yourself to exercise or convincing yourself to take a rest day? 😂🦝 Saline County Striders | Run • Walk • Connect
🧠👟 WHY JOIN A RUNNING & WALKING CLUB?Because you don't have to figure everything out by yourself.Running and walking seem pretty simple—until you start having questions. 😂👟 What kind of shoes do I need?🏃 How fast should my easy runs be?🥤 Do I need to carry water?🍌 What should I eat before a race?📈 How do I build mileage safely?🏁 When am I ready for my first 5K?😴 Should I run today or take a rest day?One of the great things about being around other runners and walkers is realizing:Somebody has probably asked the same question before.A running club gives you people to learn from, share experiences with, encourage—and eventually, you'll probably find yourself helping someone who's just getting started too.That's how a community grows. 💚We learn from each other.👇 Experienced runners & walkers: What's ONE thing you wish someone had told you when you were first getting started?🦝 Saline County StridersDifferent Paces.
