Rookie's Guide To Enhancing Performance in Running:

As a prelude to the Mizuno Wave Run this Sunday, I thought it opportune for me to jot down some advices accumulated over my condensed period of training.

1) Harness on the fabric technology commonly used in running vests, i.e wear dry-fit vest or employ the use of DryScience.

2) For people using knee support, take care not to strap it too tightly around the knee. I promise you won't enjoy it.

3) Hydrate regularly hours before the run and don't drink or at most take a sip of water half an hour before the commencement of run.

4) Better not to cultivate the over-reliance on knee support after the injury heals because you might tend to use more of the other leg and create an imbalanced pressure when running.

5) Eat something and clear your bowels before running in the morning. Haha :)
