The Bimbo Global Race goes beyond just running kilometers, because in each of its editions it has allowed us to enjoy and share while helping those who need it most. If you have already made the decision to participate in the next Bimbo Global Race, this is the perfect time to continue preparing and giving your best. It doesn't matter if you are an experienced runner or if this will be your first time, the road to success starts with constant training!

Here are some practical tips to keep you focused and moving towards your goal:

1. Set small but achievable weekly goals

Keep your goals clear and specific. Instead of focusing only on the final race, set weekly goals that you can achieve. How many miles do you plan to run this week? At what pace do you want to improve? Keeping track of your progress will help you stay motivated and help you see how each week you're getting closer to your goal.

Tip: Use an app to log your miles and see your progress visually. Running apps allow you to track your pace and see how you improve day by day.

2. Varied training: key to improve

Don't stick to the same type of training. Switching between sprints and endurance sessions will allow your body to adapt to different intensities, improving your overall performance. Also, including sprint intervals and long runs will allow you to be more efficient on race day.

Tip: Spend one day doing fast 30-second intervals at full speed, with 2 minutes of slow jogging in between. Another day, run at a steady pace for 60 minutes. Variety equals better performance.

3. Listen to your body and give it space to recover

Sometimes, less is more. While it is essential to be constant, it is also important to listen to your body. If you feel excessive fatigue, discomfort or pain, don't hesitate to take a break. Overtraining can lead to injury, and getting adequate rest will allow you to come back stronger.

Tip: Include deep stretching or yoga sessions on your rest days. This will help prevent injuries and improve your flexibility so your muscles can recover properly.

4. Balanced diet and hydration: your essential fuel

Don't underestimate the power of good nutrition. Your body needs energy to perform at its best, so make sure you consume carbohydrates, protein and healthy fats. And don't forget to stay hydrated before, during and after your workouts, especially if you run outdoors in hot climates.

Tip: Try meals with complex carbohydrates such as oatmeal or sweet potatoes, combined with protein such as chicken or tofu, to keep your energy levels up. And always carry a bottle of water to stay hydrated throughout the day.

5. Find motivation in others: run in a group or with friends.

The road to the Bimbo Global Race is funnier if you go together. Training in a group not only makes the time go faster, but also pushes you to do your best. Join a running group in your city or invite a friend to train with you. Collective motivation is a powerful tool.

Tip: Look for local pre-race running events and use them as part of your training. It's a great way to measure your progress and share the experience with others.

Remember that the Bimbo Global Race is not just about running, it's about enjoying the process, celebrating health and being part of a global cause. With every step you take, you not only get closer to the finish line, you also join thousands of people around the world who, like you, are running for a better future: See you at the starting line!
