Four Ways to Maximize your Festival Morning Run

If you’re headed to Austin to see some live music and don’t want to skip your daily run, heed the advice of Taryn Lamb, a running and lifestyle content creator. Here, she teams up with Brooks and Cosmopolitan to give you tips to make your run a warm-up to the main event: Concerts and connection.Tip #1: Wear shoes that you trust. “If I’m gonna be on my feet all day, I need running shoes that can unleash my soulful energy,” she says. For her, it’s the Brooks Ghost Amp. Here’s why: it has a new nitrogen-infused DNA HYPE cushioning that blends softness and responsiveness; its SpringRamp forefoot technology helps you push off the ground with more pop and momentum; and the lightweight warp knit upper is built for breathability to help keep your feet cool. All of these things help keep your feet ready for the dancing ahead no matter how long you run.Tip #2: Go out early. “Austin gets hot and you’re about to spend the rest of the day on your feet so keep it easy—20 or 30 minutes is plenty,” Taryn says.Tip #3: Don’t forget water. About that heat, you’ll want to hydrate before you’re thirsty. This will keep your energy up during your run and the festivities that you are in Austin for.And finally, tip #4: Stretch. Taryn says it’s important to give your legs a little love because you have a festival to get to: “The run might be over, but my legs have a whole other shift coming up.”Shop Taryn’s LookCarey Rossi is the Senior News Editor for Prevention and Prevention.com.
