Many runners allow their motivation and excitement to take over when they start a new running program. No matter how you feel, the best way to increase your running distance is to do so gradually.
Most runners will have a base running distance. This could be 1 mile or it could be 8 miles, depending on where you are in your training cycle and your running history. Before you begin increasing your mileage, it’s best to spend a couple of weeks running that base mileage each day.
After that, you can increase one run a week, the long run, by one or two miles each week. Remember that running farther will take more time, energy, and effort, and plan accordingly. It’s also important to plan additional recovery time following your long run each week. That may mean a few extra hours or an extra day depending on your fitness level.
When you use the AIRWAAV Endurance Performance Mouthpiece, you are already a step ahead regarding recovery time, because it reduces cortisol buildup by up to 50%, which means you need less recovery time than you would training without the AIRWAAV mouthpiece.
You also have an easier time increasing your endurance with the AIRWAAV mouthpiece because using it properly reduces your respiratory rate by 20%, resulting in less lactic acid production. This gives you more energy for running longer distances. Still, it’s important to build up your running mileage gradually.
