A very popular question in my DMs - and not that this answer couldn’t go a gazillion directions because it could and I’m the type of coach/trainer that will ask you a million follow up questions 😂😂😂 •• Is this your first time running? Are you returning from running after a hiatus (i.e. pregnancy, injury, etc)? Are you a true beginner - meaning - you’ve never ever run before? •• TONS OF PLACES you could potentially be starting. •• And many of you just want to get into running but genuinely don’t know where or how to start. •• I also want to say that running isn’t for everyone. If you’ve tried time and time again and just don’t like it - THATS OK! Settle with the fact that running may not be your thing and honestly - probs better for your body in the long game if I’m being honest 👏🏼👏🏼 •• But - if you want to try. Try with a walk / jog protocol or walk/trot rather. •• I see this a lotttt with people who try to run for the first time. They go out with a distance goal and they never make it so they get discouraged. For example - 1 mile. It’s easy to get discouraged when you’re less than a quarter mile in thinking “how TF am I gonna make it to 1 mile.” •• Walking a block, trotting or jogging a block is sooo much more digestible. And you can choose the amount of time you want to go. Maybe 5 minutes? Maybe 10 minutes. •• You can increase the jog interval over time. You can increase the distance overtime. •• This is also how I re introduced running postpartum after a year off during pregnancy. Tons of walk/jog protocols. •• People tend to think that if they aren’t running consecutive miles that they aren’t running. •• I call bullshit. This is a BEAUTIFUL way to add running into the mix!! And don’t shame yourself for not liking running. I can think of at least 10 other better / more sustainable ways to train 🤣 •• Whatcha think?? Do you have any current running goals? •• And yes - we’ll get into the importance of runners cross / strength training another day 👍🏼💪🏼
