11 Beginner Run Tips | How To Start Running!

[@kevinspindler2363]

"Walking is not a failure" Thank you. It took me far too long to realize that. Once I did, I started having so much more fun.

[@mollymcintosh8869]

Kevin Spindler same here. I was very inconsistent with my running because every time I walked I felt like a failure and wouldn’t have the motivation to keep going, but now I’ve set a goal for myself so hopefully I’ll be more consistent

[@helianthe3457]

Same, I used to hate running because of this. Instead of just building up endurance I would burn out and feel like a failure. This needs to be taught everywhere.

[@SixDogsMusic]

That's a good tip.

[@khizarabid8414]

This is glorious, I've been looking for "long distance running techniques" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Hiymelia Ziyddison Scheme - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my colleague got excellent success with it.

[@juscallmeehx]

Actually, once you get to a certain level (not hard, just be consistent) and build your aerobic fitness, it's quite easy to run and talk. 80% of your runs should be running at an easy conversational pace. Once you've achieved that, really the only thing stopping you at that point are your legs get tired.

[@Mascha_Eleonora]

I learned that when you cant talk when running, you go to fast!!

[@JHM117]

Do cadance while running.

[@eliannevdlinden6047]

This really helped me, I really want to start getting fit again, depression and social anxiety have really hurt my physique... Just kind of starting to think it is hopeless seeing as I can’t even run more than 30 seconds. --Little update 2 months after I posted this: I’m struggling way less with sleeping and feel a lot more healthy. The runs I take have improved a lot! I can run for about 2 minutes now and run an walk two minutes each. Mostly I do this for 3 km in at least half an hour. I have struggled with keeping a schedule but I’m still happy with the little improvement I booked! My depression and anxiety are a bit less ( I run in the evening when not a lot of people are outside, so that helps me feel less conscious). I feel more motivated to do other things like hobbies when I keep to my schedule of running every other day. So for people who struggle with depression and anxiety I can safely say that going for a run or at least for a walk will help a great deal to make you feel better. It’s okay if you don’t get the results you would’ve liked just think about how the exercise at least helps you mentally!

[@Arkeli5]

Elixanne, Well done on starting. That's the first step. If you suffer from depression and social anxiety it will be a little easier for you to fall into the trap of losing hope if you are failing at any goals you set. That's why it is important you set goals that are achievable and keep you in a positive mind set. The more you do this and progress the easier it will become to stay positive and get better and better in your chosen activity. One of the biggest mistakes people make is coming out of the gate too fast. If you haven't been active in a long time you need to let your body adjust to this new activity you are putting it through. Start very easy and build from there. It sounds like you might be running too fast for starting out. Try to slow the pace to a very slow jog. Even if it feels like you could walk faster if you are going through the action of jogging it feels different to walking and can help prepare the body for a quicker pace. Take your time and don't put pressure on advancement, time or distance. Instead listen to how your body and spirit feel. This sounds strange but the more you try the more in touch you will become. You could be sitting down doing nothing and all of a sudden your mind and body will start wanting to get out and be active. If when this feeling comes you immediately dismiss it with feelings of negativity, like being too tired or not enjoying it and it feeling more like a chore these can be signs you're pushing too hard or training too often. Once you build up over time your body and mind will crave activity in a positive manner and you will want to get out and do it. It takes time. So go slow and stick to goals you feel positive about and never let yourself feel negative if on one day you have to stop or slow down. Just accept that your body wasn't feeling it that day. Go home, stretch and relax and focus on how far you've come. From 30 seconds to wherever you are. I wish you the best with your journey. Stay positive :D

[@eliannevdlinden6047]

I usually do interval running. Like you start off with 5 minute brisk walk for warm up. After that you run for 1 minute; do 2-minute break with 5 reps, all in one week. Than the next week you increase your running time and break time along with reps. If you keep going on like this you'll probably see some major improvement from interval running.

[@bbq878]

Just run and don't stop, doesn't matter the speed. You'll be a pro runner in 10 days. Drink tons of water daily.

This is what I’m doing to start out. I lost 20 pounds by walking but eventually my body got used to the walking and I needed to walk for an obscenely long time to get the same results, so I’ve started doing 1min run 2min walking sprints and my weight loss has picked up again and I feel so much more fit!

I started running recently being somewhat fit a few years back, biggest tip I have is PACE YOURSELF.

It'll DEFINATLEY come eventually, as long as you're pushing yourself, of course :)

[@bbq878]

Start at any speed, doesn't matter. Set a distance. Run, and don't stop no matter what. Think whatever you gotta think to keep you running. Doesn't matter if your jog comes down a tumbling speed even slower then a walk. DON'T STOP. Your conditioning will go through the roof. Happy trails guys!

@@lifeuncovered6188 any more tips bro I’m starting cross country as a new runner

[@lifeuncovered6188]

@@devgupta0804 Ok so I’ve learned a ton from when I first started out, but basically the essential ideas and things you need to follow are: 1. Don’t skimp out on runs and do not get lazy. I saw a bunch of my friends start out strong and well the first few weeks of the season, but later on they get lazy af. That hurt their overall times and blocked them from improving. The key is to work hard on your workouts, soft on your recovery runs. You will see gains and better times in quite a short amount of time. Of course take needed breaks and don’t stress your body. This is the most important tip that I have for you my man. 2. Try to eat healthy/regulate your diet. All I’m saying is that you should pretty much cut out sweets, soda, junk snake n stuff. If running is important to you then you will quickly realize that a bad diet will hold you back, and you won’t even know it. I’d also recommend to stay away from supplements that advertise to increase your performance (they are most likely lying. If you eat the correct amount of macro and micro food groups then you will be just fine). And a last tip for this would be to load on carbs before races, (google why to learn more about carbs and energy use). 3. GET GOOD SLEEP!!! You are most likely a teen, and teens have bad sleeping patterns! Sleep is one of the most important parts of competitive running, it might be the most important! My coach and myself have seen so many track/XC stars who are expected to achieve great times in races, fail so hard because they stayed up to late the night or a couple nights before their race and messed up so badly hahah. I know it’s summer rn, but later, do not ever try to make up the excuse of needing to stay up late for a test also (If you are needing to stay up to study for a test the day before, you already messed up and made bad choices). This is the exact chart that my coaches used in a presentation on sleep, images.app.goo.gl/zkBcecovnHXo6Znr6. It might be hard, but remember that greatness requires sacrifice. 4. Don’t ever give up or get frustrated when you get a bad time or you mess up a workout, running takes time, especially competitive running and you just need to push through until you’re at a good fitness spot. 5. Racing tips: just ask me if you want to hear mine, it’s really hard to type all this on a phone lol. Also keep in mind that I’m a relatively new runner as well, only a sophomore in American highschool so Im pretty young. Good luck with your running journey and remember to work hard. If you are determined enough then you will reach ur goals, no joke bro. 👍👍

This has helped me, thank you. Started jogging this week but it's literally been years since I put any pace in my step so every minute I was just stopping and walking for a second. Felt like a failure but as I said I needed this vid to tell me it'll build up. Just need to be consistent.

I’ve now been at the gym just over a year now and you’ll realise you keep repeating something eventually it gets easier and you can go next level. 3 months ago I couldn’t do dips at all, now I can do full sets unassisted.

[@OtherworldJudge89]

He’s right about starting small. I was going through a bad time and thought I’d start doing some running, and I pushed myself to run 4km every day for 4 days in a row. Even though I was a little sore after day 1, and then more after day 2, etc. After day 4 I couldn’t run and my knees were so shot, they were really sore any time I tried more than walking for a MONTH. You can really hurt yourself if you push yourself straight away. Day on, day off like he said. If you haven’t done any exercise in a long time, start off even just walking (at a brisk pace) for a good half an hour-hour at a time, and you’ll even build up a little bit of fitness just doing that.

[@thecaptain3594]

I have lifted ever since I was 13 (I am going to be 33 in May). But I neglected endurance training all that time and my cardio fitness is complete bollocks. I've started running, but the mistake I keep falling into is doing too much too fast and burning myself out. I have to stop trying to run too much and settle for running really slow and building up so I don't keep falling off the wagon. When you're a lifter, it is all about them gains. But making gains with cardio fitness is a completely different beast than making lifting gains.

Well my journey is complete for 2019........ 3 sprints, one olympic and my first ever Half marathon this weekend just gone.... Thats couch to half marathon in 6months with a time of 2hrs 8mins at Oulton park race circuit. it can be done just take`s more time than you think.... Oh and be prepared for the pain of walking up stairs after some sessions as your legs hurt and no amount of foam rollering can stop it :)

Anyone else was wondering if he took his shoe off in the middle of the road to show it to us or he had another one?😂😂

[@biagoofy1]

This is a great video ever but you also forgot to mention one important tip...that is runners health conditions such as females with iron or vitamin deficiency could result sever dehydration.. I was hospitalized due to that. My ten cent. Thanks!

[@alejandroduenas2746]

I’m so paranoid to start running, like I feel like someone is going to be watching me or ima get kidnapped so that’s why I don’t want to start. I know it will be good for my fitness though, so I think ima start trying to run w my dad. It will be awkward because I don’t like to exercise with my family around but I’ll try

[@beyondthehorizonvirtualrunning]

If you are afraid to run outside I made some virtual running videos - you might run in the comfort of your home with a great scenery on the screen

I just wanna go out there and jog; I don't have anyone with who I can jog, so kinda always think that they might judge me that my posture is not right, not wearing the proper shoes, clothes, etc yk.

[@chrissy8386]

I’ve been suffering chronic fatigue for years, but feel a little better lately, so started trying to run. I can only run for 2-3 minutes at a time so far 🤦🏼‍♀️ I also run funny 😂

[@MrSkorp10]

As long as you're out there and exercising you're doing better than all the couch potatoes. Keep trying and it will get better. As for running 'funny' there are plenty of videos on technique on here.

[@chrissy8386]

@@MrSkorp10 I ended up buying a mini trampoline in the winter and use it to run and jog on, I now manage a mile of running on it in 10mins. Plus no embarrassing looks from people 🤣

[@MrSkorp10]

@@chrissy8386 I would have thought that running on a trampoline would have been harder than running on the road?

[@TheFrontierStudio]

Really appreciate this guide! In fact I've made one myself and it's on the 3 biggest reasons you should run, if you have time why not check it out!

[@Userinsane240]

Why do I feel like I’m watching a movie/show where the character is sprinting but it’s slowed down so they can explain what’s going on? 😭

[@RunningToMyPast]

Thanks for the advice! I just started training for my first marathon this week and trying to learn as much about running as I possibly can. Definitely learned about a few of the tips the hard way already!

[@patrickflyer5642]

Great experience, btw are you still running?) I was running for 60 days in a row and just uploaded my video with this challenge, it turned out to be one of the most exciting things I’ve tried out😋😅

[@adamwaind5057]

Big tip. If you tear your tenden on a run don't ignore the doctors advice of 12 weeks bed rest and go for a run 2 weeks later coz you miss it and tear your tenden even more.

[@elyria649]

Very helpful, thank you! I’ve tried to start running three times now but have gotten hurt everytime. I see now that I was going too hard. ...and not stretching😬 I’ll slow down and make sure to get a day of rest in between. Hopefully this time I’ll be able to keep going!

[@laowai2000]

As a start 6km yesterday on treadmill yesterday. Mix of running and fast walking for an hour. Repeating daily until something breaks. If trying to lose weight all the exercise in the world will not beat a bad diet!

[@Prof.SchulzeSternberg]

Can’t wait for Santa bringing me a new pair of running shoes. 🥰

[@duncanwalshfitnessweightlo9329]

Great tips...especially to join a running club. So much more enjoyable with a few friends.

[@1dree1]

"having learned the hard way myself" - so Mark, what happened? :-) always keen to learn from others, having made mistakes myself and only gotten wise in hindsight

[@AllanGildea]

Excellent! Thank you.

[@WaltRBuck]

For the record, "Our local running store" in the US is often times a local shoe store. Be wary. They generally know nothing about the sport and are trying to sell you a product. You'll need a specialty shoe store. Usually.

[@notverysmart42069]

the difference between a local variety shoe store and a running/exercise store should be pretty obvious tho

[@WaltRBuck]

@@notverysmart42069 I see what you're saying, but it's easy to get pulled in by advertising, which is VERY tricky underneath it all, especially if you're new to it all.

[@FlippinFruitFly]

Strength training helped my running incredibly much too!

[@maurizio7209]

Hi Mark! I would love to start running, but for sure in a soft and fun way... and for a while i won’t look at my watch😂😂 As usual you are great motivators🔝 Thank you!!! The Swiss swimmer 🇨🇭& Swiss runner

[@dilz2012]

What puts me off with running is how long it takes to progress. With lifting as a beginner, you have clearly measurable ways to see progression in the short term.
