Tips for my wife's first 5k please
My wife is in good shape, and she's been training for a few months now. Her first 5k is next week.
One of her main issues is her legs get tired. When I used to run, I don't recall my legs getting tired? I mean I'd gas out sure but my cardio would exhaust before my legs. Is this just a skinny legs issue, or is there perhaps a technique issue that's causing her legs to tire?
She also has a bit of a fear around needing the toilet in public spaces. She struggles to stay adequately hydrated as the worry about needing to pee while out and about is quite distressing for her.
Any other tips to help her run the full 5k no stopping, improve her time, or just have a more comfortable time with it.
I am no runner so i cant really help her out. Any noob advice you guys have for an ambitious beginner would be greatly appreciated. Thank you everyone.
