Joel’s five top running tips
Monday, June 21st, 2021
Looking for some inspiration to boost your 10k training? Here’s five short and powerful running tips from SpecialEffect Ambassador Joel Benton. Joel runs at least three miles every day, and has his own YouTube running channel featuring running interviews with fascinating guests including Olympian, Military Cross recipients and many more.
- Running always gives more than it takes. Imagine a financial investment where that was guaranteed – people would be doing everything they could to put money in. It may not seem like it at the time but the returns from running are greater than the costs.
- Don’t think about it too much. Just get your shoes on and leave the house. Prevarication makes running harder and no one needs that.
- A slow run is better than no run.
- No one cares. It doesn’t matter that you’re sweaty and slow and you think you look ridiculous. It doesn’t matter if you’re running like a gazelle in the coolest gear money can buy. No one cares because running is entirely about the runner.
- You can’t outrun your fork. No matter how many times you run, if you don’t pay attention to what you’re eating and drinking, you’re never going to see the physical benefits.
