Want to be a Runner Girlie?🏃‍♀️

So you want to start running, but don’t know where to start? I started running in June ‘23 and am now 3 weeks away from my first half marathon! Here’s my tips to starting your journey🏃🏼‍♀️💗

🩷RUN SLOW. Girl you’re just starting. You don’t need to be fast. If you think you’re running slow, run even slower than that.

🩷RUN/WALK INTERVALS. You’re not going to be able to run for a long time straight when you start, nor should you because you can get injured. Run one minute, walk one minute and try that 6 times! Don’t over do it, it’s your first time.

🩷GET FITTED SHOES. From experience, PLEASE don’t buy the popular shoes just because your fav influencer has them. I now have a misfit pile of running shoes that hurt my feet because of this. Go to a running store and get fitted for sneakers. Everyone’s feet and gait are different and you may need something more cushioned, less cushioned, lighter, heavier, etc.

🩷DOWNLOAD A RUNNING APP. This will help you keep a more personal structured plan for getting to your goal in your journey. There’s a ton of apps out there! I used the 5k runner app when I started and loved it!

🩷SIGN UP FOR A 5K. If you’re serious about learning how to run, sign up for a 5k a few months away. This will help you make sure you stay on top of your training and won’t give up. If you pay to run a race, you don’t want to waste your money so you will need to show up and run that race!

🩷HAVE FUN. Running shouldn’t be a chore. Don’t use running as a punishment for weight loss. You will never love it. Make it fun. You get to get outside, make running friends, explore new places, maybe join a run club!

Comment any more questions or tips💗🏃🏼‍♀️

Happy Running✨

... Read moreStarting your running journey can be both exciting and overwhelming. Many newcomers find it challenging to maintain motivation and consistency. One popular method is incorporating a mix of running and walking, gradually increasing your running intervals as your fitness improves. It's essential to listen to your body to avoid injuries, especially during the initial phases. In addition to proper footwear, using a running app can help track progress and offer structured plans tailored to your needs. Many runners benefit from joining local running clubs or finding running buddies, which can help keep the experience social and enjoyable. There are numerous resources available online, from running blogs to YouTube channels, offering valuable insights on techniques and training schedules. Also, consider participating in community events or virtual races to boost your commitment. Signing up for a 5K not only gives you a goal but also connects you with like-minded individuals who can support you throughout your running journey. Make sure to prioritize fun over competition; running should be a source of joy and discovery, not just a means to an end. Happy running!
