Plan Description
If you've just started running, this is where you want to be! I'm here to help you achieve what you never thought possible. And feel great doing it.
There are bazillions of tips, tricks and ideas out there to make you a better runner, but what do you really need to know just to get started? Not nearly as much as you might think!! Here are some of the basics to get you on your way:
- Embrace the art of run/walk – this will allow you to increase your endurance
- Take daily walks to increase your time on feet, this will translate to feeling better on the run
- Remember that being a good runner includes cross training: full body and core strength training
- Set a goal to run or walk 3 times per week to start
- Pick one day a week to be your long run day and slowly increase that each week
- Remember that even as a beginner, you need rest and recovery days. Your body needs time to catch up to the new stimulus you’re providing.
No experience is required to start this program, so no excuses, let's go!
