You might want to cut the length and intensity of your workout. Because researchers found the stress of prolonged vigorous exercise can impair gut function. It’s called exercise-induced gastrointestinal syndrome. And people who spent at least 2 continuous hours at 60% of their maximum intensity, slowed digestion and nutrient absorption, and even triggered endotoxemia, which can cause shock, hemorrhaging, and kidney damage. 

So, if you get indigestion after strenuous exercise, you might want to dial back the length and intensity of your workout.

Just because someone runs marathons doesn’t mean they aren’t sitting all day. On workdays, people who run marathons and half-marathons sit for an average of nearly 11 hours! That, of course, raises their risk of heart disease. So get up and move throughout the day – even if you’re sore from your last marathon or morning run.

Good news for runners who love to shop!

If you’re a runner AND a shopaholic, I have good news: You have a legitimate reason to buy more running shoes! Because runners who rotate between two or more pairs of shoes lower their risk of injury by nearly 40%! That’s according to the Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports. The reason? Because different shoes create different impact points when our feet hit the ground, which reduces the repetitive stress on our joints. So if you’ve been dying for a cute pair of hot pink Nikes AND Adidas, you have a great excuse to buy them.

Because a steady beat can help you run longer and more efficiently. And picking up your pace just 10% – from 140 beats per minute to 155 beats per minute – can reduce the stress on your knees! That’s because shorter steps reduce impact. You can use an app like Cruise Control Run, which will change the beat of any song on your smartphone to match your desired pace.

You don’t need to practice yoga to center yourself and be mindful.

Try this mindfulness technique, no matter what type of exercise you enjoy. It comes from trainer Nora St. John: Every 5 minutes during your run, bike ride, or rowing session – take out your earbuds or pause your workout playlist, and tune into your breathing and body movement. Make sure nothing feels off or awkward, and correct it if it does. St. John says that will help you become a more efficient exerciser and help prevent injuries.

Runners, if you have a 5K coming up – keep this in mind, from the International Journal of Sports and Nutrition: Drink 2 cups of coffee about 45 minutes before your run. It’ll increase your speed by 3%. That may not seem like much – but if you run a 5K in about 30 minutes, you’ll shave almost a minute off your time. What’s the magic in coffee that makes the difference?

The combination of caffeine and antioxidants improves blood flow, reduces feelings of pain, and improves diaphragm strength – so you can breathe easier during exertion. So drink 2 cups of coffee about 45 minutes before your run.

…because we run FASTER in the Fall! That’s from running coach Michael Melinoitis. Because when the weather’s cooler, with less humidity, running takes less effort and there’s less resistance in dry air. So even at the same heart rate, you’ll go faster. The best weather for a run? 45 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit… or 10 degrees Celsius. That’s why there are more marathons in the Fall.

Do you only exercise on the weekend?

Did you know it’s now okay if you’re a Weekend Warrior, and only have time to exercise on the weekends? A recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found what really matters is that you get 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week. So, an hour of hiking on Saturday, an hour-long bike ride Sunday, and a few brisk dog walks will get you to your goal. And that 150 minutes of exercise is linked to a lower risk of death from all causes, including heart disease and cancer. And this recent study tells us this holds true whether you only sweat on the weekends, or you spread those exercise sessions out through the week. Yes, it’s now okay to be a Weekend Warrior.
