With the arrival of spring and warmer weather, more and more runners and active-lifestyle enthusiasts can be seen on the streets, slowly beginning to prepare for their sporting adventures this summer. One of these will undoubtedly be the mass-participation sporting event “DNB Stipro skrējiens,” which will take place on 7 May at the “Zelta Zirgs” leisure and sports complex in Ķegums and bring together several thousand brave participants.
We offer some useful tips from fitness trainers on how to better prepare for this run.
1. Exercise regularly. First of all, start training and exercising at least once a week. If not together with the participants of the “DNB Stipro skrējiens” in Zaķusala, then at least in your local park or at your workplace during lunch breaks;
2. Exercises for the whole body. If you have chosen to train at home, exercise your arms, abdominal muscles and back;
3. Proper nutrition. Your diet should be balanced, providing as many calories during the day as you will expend. Carbohydrates (in moderate amounts) and protein are also essential in your daily diet so that your body can recover after greater exertion. In addition, you should definitely include fish or krill oil, as well as B-group and C vitamins, in your diet;
4. Suitable clothing. When attending “DNB Stipro skrējiens” training sessions, your usual training clothes are perfectly sufficient—windproof, breathable sports trousers, a shirt and a jacket. Running shoes with a softer, more cushioned sole would be more suitable. If the weather conditions are unfavourable, thermal shirts and trousers will come in handy.
Not everyone is born an athlete with great physical capacity and endurance, which is why the support of friends, colleagues, fellow runners and spectators is of great strength and importance at “DNB Stipro skrējiens.” All participants in this event are like one large family, moving forward hand in hand so that, upon crossing the finish line, they can experience immense joy at what they have accomplished, feel proud of themselves and realise that every participant in “DNB Stipro skrējiens” is a patriot of their country, because they completed this exciting run for Latvia.
Since “DNB Stipro skrējiens” is an event in which people with different levels of physical fitness participate, each person can choose the most suitable starting group when registering for the run—elite or mass participation.
