Beginners Running Tips

By Herman Valdamirin

All beginner runners should set their own training schedules based on the kind of lifestyle they are already living, or the life style they want to achieve. This is the first step to getting your bum of the sofa and your feet out on the road where you want them.

Set a schedule most convenient to you and at a time when you do not feel too tired or too sleepy to run. Or you might just be turned off so fast about running. Most of the runners who easily find themselves shying away from running just as soon as they have started are those who started on running training too fast, without listening to what their body is telling them. And they end up feeling less confident, asking themselves why the others can do it and they cannot.

If you are a beginner runner, you should look for a running training program that will first pull you out of that comfort zone. Start with a less straining program such as mere walking and jogging. The ultimate goal here is to get a potato couch off his TV and set him running into the tracks. And when he has already developed that running spirit in him can he step up into a higher level of running.

While running ensure you realize your limits, alot of beginner runners will lose their patience at the start. This generally makes them push hard which can result in injury, this also means your not following the training program you spent time finding. Follow your training program even if you believe you can run further, keep note of your running sessions and increase your resting times in relation to your notes.

The most efficient way to decrease the chance of injury is to ensure you get enough rest and not over exert yourself. One of the best way's to do this is by giving yourself a day of rest after every planning running session. Most programs suggest a maximum of three running sessions a run of about 20 to 30 minutes long. This gives you a day to plan your next running session and lower the chances of injury.

Pay attention to your training sessions, do you notice any speed increases? , are you running any further? , make sure you keep track of your improvement as the faster and further you run the more strain you put on your muscles and joints can amount to injury's.

Make sure you keep note of your training statistics, the reason I strongly suggest this is because your first results you achieve become a start in which you can strive to improve on. When you start noticing your finding the same course easier and easier you can check with your statistics which should show an increase in speed, you should also find it alot less difficult as your body is slowly becoming accustomed to your training sessions
