Hi, this is Debbie Boyles, coach at Mojo for Running with episode number 72, running tips for

every runner. Welcome to the podcast for all runners, old and young, fast and slow, distance runners

and 5K specialists, beginners and veterans. I hope this podcast provides information that is

helpful to you no matter where you are

in your running career. If you're a runner, you're in the right place and I'm glad you're here.

I hope you'll visit the Mojo for Running website where you'll find four training programs,

the walk-to-run program, first 5K, first 10K, and first half marathon program.

Today's episode is comprised of a very wide variety of running tips,

tips about training and motivation, about carrying gear during a race,

navigating aid stations, and much, much more.

I asked for suggestions for this podcast on the Mojo for Running Facebook page a while

back. So some of these tips will come from there, and of course some will come from my 38 years

of running. If you have any tips that I don't include, please go to the Facebook page and let us know,

because I got so many tips this time that I'm definitely going to need to

continue into another episode in order to keep this one at a reasonable length, which I know

you appreciate. Then I'll add, so I'll add some of those that you send in are all the ones

that you send to the next episode. If you're not on Facebook, then you can send those tips to Deb

at mojo for running.com. Tammy says, use Tide, white vinegar, and oxyclean to get the funky smell

out of your running clothes. David says, wear light colors for races on sunny days. Brit says, run your own race.

Don't waste time comparing yourself against others. Enjoy the run. Maria says if it's important to track

your miles, make sure you have a backup. At times, I have found that an app or watch can malfunction. I use a phone app and my

Garmin watch to track my miles. From Brian Fulham. Rest is not a four-letter word. Great, great
