Are you a new runner and looking for running tips for beginners? If so, then it will be great to know that every experienced runner out there started as a beginner and at some point they took their first step. Every journey begins with a single step.
There are a few key guidelines to keep in mind when embarking upon a running regiment. The following article will help set you on the right path to become an efficient runner.
Know your medical history and ensure that you are in a safe physical and mentor condition before you start. Consult with your health care provider before you start running or any exercise routine for that matter.
Properly fitted running shoes are a must for any runner-- especially beginners. Check your area for a running or sports store that can find the proper shoe for your foot. For optimum running comfort, the shoe should designed specifically for running.
Comfortable clothes are critical to establishing your running routine and keeping it consistent. You might even find a few of these items already in your closet. Depending on the climate in your area, loosely fitted sweat pants, athletic pants, or shorts are the favorites of most runners; a basic t-shirt will suffice for a top. For the ladies out there, make sure you have a well-supported sports bra.
Start by walking. Don't keep off running if you have not been active for a while. Starting at a slower pace will prepare your muscles and heart rate to adapt to the changes. Practice walking at a brisk pace for a while.
Once you are more comfortable and have been walking on a regular bases, it's time to pick up the pace. Start running about 30 minutes around 4-5 days a week. If running for 30 minutes is too much for you to start with, pick a shorter time and stick with it. Whatever goal you set for yourself, you need to be consistent.
Running will help you lead a healthier lifestyle by getting you in shape and improving your fitness level along with your health.
For me, it is one of the most stress-relieving activities that I have found. I simply grab my headphones, enjoy the time outside, and loose myself in the run.
To start your running routine off on its best foot, keep these strategies in mind. Before you know it, you will be helping others kick off their own running regiment!
