Nourish yourself
Fuelling your body is an essential part of preparing for a run. When training, you’re likely to be burning more calories than you were before so it’s important to replace them with nutritious food. Brisbane is home to some delicious, healthy cafes and restaurants, so whether it’s finding a post-run coffee shop or a healthy place to go for dinner, the app can help you find something to suit your needs.
Make a plan
Training is an important part of getting ready for Bridge to Brisbane. A good plan with frequent, achievable goals will help keep you motivated, improve your overall fitness, and help avoid injuries.
Do not forget to add in some all important recovery days too, to help your muscles repair and allow time for essential rest. On these days a leisurely walk or spending time with friends outdoors is a great way to give your body some well-earned rest. Use the Brisbane app to help find a fun picnic location or walking track.
The Brisbane app is available to download via the Apple Store and Google Play.
