Believe in the process. Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.

2. Train according to your own pace

Heidi Makinen from Finland
Favourite distance: Half marathon

Train according to your heart rate. It helps you to get your training right in terms of intensity, it teaches you discipline and it is a great way to measure performance and improvement.

3. Train not just as a runner but as an athlete

Wati Suleiman from Singapore
Favourite distance: Half and full marathon

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by WSL (@runnermumgo)

Include strength training for the whole body particularly core and lower body. It helps to reduce risk of injury, become more efficient runner and supports good running form when you are tired after running for a long time.

4. Back to basic

A post shared by Rishi Kumar Ghimire (@rishi_ghimire_)

Eat clean, sleep well and be discipline on running/training.

5. Focus and the rest is history

Soh Wai Ching from Malaysia
Favourite distance: 5k

A post shared by Soh Wai Ching (@mastowerrunner)

Imagine that you are going to run fast and clock your best time for the race. Focus and let that happen.

6. Technique on saving energy

Swing your arms as low as possible to save energy.

7. Importance of mileage

Favourite distance: 13km

Increase your speed and mileage progressively.

8. Get Social

Jason Tan Wen Long from Malaysia
Favourite distance: Full marathon

A post shared by »»————- 𝘑𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘛𝘢𝘯 ————-«« (@j_twl)

Run with a group of friends or join a running club. Teamwork makes the dream work.

9. Cool down is a must

Always remember to do stretching after a run.

10. Plan and test which method works for you

Lance Sum from Singapore
Favourite distance: Half marathon

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Lance Sum (@lancesum)

Motivate yourself with a goal. You can plan a runcation or work out a training program for a local race. Or explore new running routes with different groups to keep things fresh.

11. Enjoy every moment

Priscilla Chew from Singapore
Favourite distance: Half marathon

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Pris (@prisgooner)

Always run at your own pace and listen to your body when you run, and you will enjoy the process. Don’t treat every training run like a race – that is the quickest way to burn out and lose interest in running.

12. Try new things to fresh things up

Sofie Nelsson from Sweden
Favourite distance: Half marathon

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Sofie Nelson Rask (@runningsofie)

To run on new places! Even if it is your hometown, you will explore more and that is inspiring.”

13. Stick to a basic plan

Felix Fuchs from Germany
Favourite distance: Half marathon

https://www.instagram.com/p/B6spw1Rn3o9/

Don’t overcomplicate things and simply enjoy running and stick to it. Because when you start to skip one day of running, the resistance to skip another is way lower. So adapt the distances and intensities, so you can run 6 times a week.

14. Results will show if you put effort

Suzanne Walsham from Australia
Favourite distance: Vertical marathon/5-10k

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Suzy Walsham 🇦🇺🏃🏻‍♀️ (@suzywalsham)

Put the effort into your training because you won’t get the results you want without it.

15. Be patient

Yvonne Elizabeth Chee from Singapore
Favourite distance: Full marathon

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Yvonne Elizabeth Chee (@lovelivelaughrun)

Build up training progressively and don’t rush the process.

16. The importance of warm up

Sandy Wong from Hong Kong
Favourite distance: Full marathon

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by San San (@dydybbbb)

No matter how fast I run, warm up is necessary before each workout to minimise the chance of getting hurt.

17. The magic of recovery

Mary Harvey from United States of America
Favourite distance: 50 miles/80 km

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Mary (@visiblerabbit)

Figure out your best refuelling. The sooner you can replenish your body, the better you will recover, and the sooner you can run again.

18. Fun run with friends

Kev Lewis from United Kingdom
Favourite distance: Full marathon

https://www.instagram.com/p/B6_ciJ8HFuW/

No matter what the distance running is, running with company always makes it more enjoyable. For a lot of us running is a form of therapy. Having a sympathetic ear or two to listen is great for helping to work out those problems.

19. Training with speed

Janeth Rodríguez from Mexico
Favourite distance: Mid range race (5000m flat test), vertical runs

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Janeth Rodríguez 🇲🇽 (@janeth_towerrunner)

Train with the game of speed (fartlek) you become more resistant to speed and the plyometrics exercise that helps strengthen thighs and a correct techniques. Working together these workouts will be hard runner a win!

20. Set a goal

Rashi Shah from India
Favourite distance: 10k (half marathon)

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Rashi Shah Zaveri (@rash.in.a.flash)

Never start running with the sole purposes of achieving a set time. It takes patience and perseverance and the results shall follow gradually. Every individual has different capabilities so simply listen to what your body tells you and perform accordingly.

21. Find a plan that suits you

Claire Messinger from United States of America
Favourite distance: Around 10k

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Claire (@clairerunsthere)

Find a training plan that fits your lifestyle and stick to it. Get into a routine and strengthen not only your legs, but your entire body. Train outdoors as much as possible in all kinds of weather conditions, as race day can bring a mix of everything and anything but most important, enjoy the journey and have fun!

22. Be in the present

Melvin Wong from Singapore
Favourite distance: 5000m

Focus on the present moment – putting one foot in front of the other.

23. Slow and steady

Phillip Hou Nam Soon from Singapore
Favourite distance: 5, 10 and 21km

A post shared by Phillip Hou (@philliphou)

Run slow and listen to your body.

24. Start with a small step

Thomas Terry Hamlin from United States of America
Favourite Distance: 5000 meters

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4XTzponiTL/

Start running just above a walk. If it feels too slow, it is most likely a good pace to begin with for beginners.

25. Fun run with friends

Hio Chon Ngiap, Dave from Singapore
Favourite distance: 10 km

Running with friends is definitely more fun and there will be more exchanging of ideas, be it work, holidays or others.

26. Find a mentor that helps your training

Kang Michael from Singapore

Train with a group who mentors a runner.

27. Take time to recover your body

Favourite distance: Half marathon

A post shared by Serena Teoh (@serenaaateoh)

Recovery runs are just as important as your hard runs, enjoy them before giving your body another push!

28. Listen to your body

Lester Tan from Singapore
Favourite distance: Full marathon

Run hard when you can, rest well when you must. I think training and recovery work hard in hand as we push and challenge our limits. It also helps to listen to our body so that we can remain injury free and consistent in training.

29. Be in control with your body

Hubert Chen Jiyong from Singapore
Favourite distance: 21km

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Hubert Chen (@hubertcjy)

Control your breathing. You are in control of your own breathing, and never let your body be the one controlling them. When you are tired during your runs, you will restart doing lots of short and fast breath, you will feel worse. So, be in control of your breathing, more deep and slow breath. Make sure to keep the heart rate low, so that we can run further and faster.

30. Motivate yourself is key

Susan Tan from Singapore
Favourite distance: 10k

Always stay motivated.
