Lanacane Anti-Chafing Gel Trains the Nation

Lifestyle changes

Lanacane Anti-Chafing Gel kicked off our Train the Nation campaign in conjunction with Cancer Research UK at the London Marathon.

Get the most out of your fitness training with 10 top tips from Lanacane® Anti-Chafing Gel

  1. Train in comfort
    Don't let skin irritation caused by chafing prevent you from training: try Lanacane® Anti-Chafing Gel
  2. Seek medical advice
    Any new activity can cause stress to your body - consult your GP prior to exercising
  3. Slowly but surely
    Begin with 20 minutes 3 times a week & build up gradually
  4. Consult a personal trainer
    A good trainer will get you started safely & help you learn enough to work out on your own if you choose
  5. Pre-race preparation
    Warm up is key, try running gently for about 5 minutes, gradually increasing your speed & follow with stretching. Finish by performing 1 to 3 sprints at race pace
  6. Avoid training on an empty stomach
    Carbohydrates are the body's preferred fuel & most accessible source of calories, so load up prior to strenuous exercise
  7. Always drink before exercise
    Dehydration can impede your performance - try to drink half a litre of water in the two hours before your workout & then take in water during your workout
  8. The right gear
    Most trainers lose 50% of their shock absorption capabilities within the first 50 miles so ensure you use the correct trainers for your body weight & size
  9. Allow time for rest and recovery
    Rest & recovery are just as important as training to prevent overtraining or damage to the immune system.
  10. Vary your workouts
    Take a varied approach to training, walk, bike, swim, yoga, jog to keep you motivated
