Beginner Running Tips for Non-Athletic People:

Run for time, not distance. Forget about hitting certain miles. Start slow, then build up nice and easy with run/walk intervals. Gradually increase your time on feet over several weeks, and watch your progress soar.

Form > Speed. Keep your posture relaxed, shoulders back, and avoid over-striding. Good form will make running feel easier and prevent injury.

Invest in Good Shoes. Good shoes will be the best running partner you could ask for. Go to a running shop with a 30-day return policy and get properly FITTED.

Run on soft surfaces. If pavement hurts your joints, try grass or dirt paths to ease the impact on your body.

Listen to your body. If you feel tired or sore, take a break. Remember: recovery is a part of training too, so take the time before your body demands it.
