Have you ever had to walk some of your run? (reluctantly or not!) Well, here's why...

So you're out on a run, not even a long run! Just an average run... You may have ran twice this distance last week! But here you are walking some of your route. Well it turns out it's not always all in your head!

Under strain, such as prolonged running, the fluid is pushed out of the fascia that surrounds your muscles. Because of this, it becomes dehydrated and therefore doesn't function as effectively... The fascia is less springy and elastic. (Muller & Schleip).

A short break from running, by walking 1-3 mins of your route, gives the tissues enough time to rehydrate therefore giving you back that springy, elastic fascia! (Muller & Schleip).

So next time you're out for a run and feel less "springy"... it's time for a short walk! And tell your running pals, it's not "all in your head"... you're just "rehydrating your fascia!" 

Not sure what fascia is? ... Take a look!

So what else can you do to improve the elasticity of your Fascia??

Foam Rolling is a start! This not only works on the muscles, but on the fascia surrounding the muscles. Work on keeping this elastic, flexible and free from adhesions through foam rollering, and having monthly maintenance massage.

Though I am not really inclined to running, I am still thankful that you have shared it to us. People who do not have a better understanding about stamina might not care about it, but that is the important thing you must have in order to survive the challenge of running. It will keep you away from getting tires easily and you will be able to reach kilometers or even miles if you will choose it! Good luck to those who will try!
