100 Beginner Running Tips

Training Tips

1.  In the immortal words of Walt Stack famed senior-citizen distance runner “Start slow … and taper.”

2.At first keep your runs short and slow to avoid injury and soreness so you do not quit.

3.If you are breathing too hard slow down or walk a bit until you feel comfortable again.

4.Pick your route close to home (out your front door)—the more convenient it is the better chance you will have sticking with it.

5.Find a beginner training plan for your first race.

6.Set realistic short term and long term goals.

7.Keep a training diary.

1.  Race day is not the day to try new shoes, eat new foods, or wear brand new clothing.

2.Do not try a marathon as your first race.

3.For races longer than 5k start out slower than you think you should.

4.If you conserve your energy during the first half of a race, you can finish strong.
