Precautions to follow during long distance running

Build a strong foundation

New to running, start with shorter distances and gradually increase mileage to help your body adapt to long-distance running demands and reduce injury risk.

Consult your healthcare provider

Consult your doctor before starting a long-distance running program, especially if you have pre-existing heart conditions or risk factors, for personalized advice and necessary tests.

Warm-up and cool-down

Prior to your run, ensure to warm up properly and cool down at the end to promote healing and prepare your body for the physical strain.

Keep your cholesterol levels within a healthy and safe range

It's crucial to keep your coronaries clear. If your doctor prescribes a statin to decrease your cholesterol, take it.

Pay attention to your body

If you experience lightheadedness, upper body discomfort, shortness of breath, or chest pain while exercising or training, it's crucial to immediately consult a doctor.
