Running Training
Running Training for Surfing Fitness
Running 2-3 times a day can really make a difference to your surfing fitness; any type of continual aerobic training like running will have a positive effect on your paddle and overall surfing leg movements.
Running on a regular basis will also help you burn calories, a steady jog is ok if you’re new to running but after a while it’s also good that you introduce some interval training taking your fitness up from just a basic level.
As with any training your running training should always start with a good warm up 8-10 minutes of steady mobility some very light stretches etc.
Also a good pair of running trainers is a must just running in any old trainers can cause running injuries.
Starting out
If you’re new to any fitness training blasting out a long run might not be the best option right away; a good way to ease into any new running program if you’re a beginner or returning to running from a long lay off is to adopt a run / jog workout. For example you may wish to try a 3 minute walk and 2 minute run, or try a 5 minute run and a 2 minute walk.
Heart rate (HR) monitoring during your running training can really boost your surfing fitness working hard at varying levels of intensities will allow for a much easier paddle out!
