Raúl Lópezcoach of Athletics Club Stretch left an important advice in Take care of Runner For all runners but, especially, for those who face the physical tests of the oppositions in the next days. “I would like to give you advice that, for me, is worth gold. It is both for popular corridors and for all those people who are training for an opposition. You have to stand up, look with objectivity and if possible, seek help from a coach and see and study how it can be improved. But. It is very important to know where we start from“.
Many runners intend to have results in a short time but in athletics that does not work. “Many people believe that if you train stronger, faster and more rest, it will arrive before, and it is not. In this sport there are no shortcuts“.
This advice is essential for opponents. “I perfectly understand that something as important as their future work is playing but I think they should not fool themselves or any coach should deceive them. In this sport, as in life, there are no miracles and things are not achieved from one week to another, not even from one month to another. The key is not to get carried away by anxiety, or try to do it as quickly as possible and try to reach the goal as soon as possible. The rush the only thing they can bring are injuries, both physical and mental because of the frustration of not achieving immediate objectives. ”
Raúl López advises not getting carried away by hurry and putting together with patience And a good training plan drawn up by a professional coach who makes them Strive, work hard, constancy, with dedication, but with great intelligence. You have to know where we are, to be realistic and find that improvement that is needed, but always thinking in the long term. “My advice is that they take care of the process, that they have patience, that they enjoy the way, that not to go so fast is much better. Sometimes going slower is just what we need to go much further“.
