Running Guide

Running guide :

Before you start running?

Most of all, start by choosing a good pair of running choose. A good pair of running choose does not have to be expensive, but confortable. Once You have them, I usually add inner sole with gel (that will absorb vibrations, type drscholls ).

 Find your motivation :

For your running experience to be enjoyable, find out why you want to run and how you can make it fun to dig into your resources and find the energy to run longer or faster.
I don't consider myself a runner, I am a cyclist, my passion is riding bicycle. Unfortunately, 2 accidents later and road congestion convinced me that I need to put a stop at cycling.
So now I run... I enjoy trying to beat my time and run in local races, I really try to push myself to get better. I run because I can... It keeps me in shape. It was a challenge years back after recovering from back surgery.
Whatever your motivation is, find it and you'll be ready to start training.

 Training methods :

For beginner running 3-4 times a week, 15-minutes is a good way to start. You can alternate running and jogging. I recommend to training with a heart rate monitor. Training at 80% from your maximum.

For intermediate runners, running 2-3 times a week, with a short run (40 minutes) mid week and a longer run on week ends. You can also adds some Training by intervals in between.
Long run can range from 10km to 18km, I rarely do more due to lack of time (and I need to spare my joins)...
