If you’ve been thinking that you might need some more exercise, then now is a good time for you to get started with a running program. But there are some important points for you to consider before heading out that door. Let’s start with good two running tips for beginners.

Take It Easy

The biggest mistake most beginners make is trying to do too much too quickly. This is only natural, and even the best athletes in the world can find themselves making the same mistake. For them, it’s a serious business and their performances may suffer. But for you, the danger is more that you will injure yourself, or burn out and quit before you ever start to see any real results.

Fortunately, there are many excellent beginning running programs to follow, like the one found over at Running Tips 4 All. If you stick to your program and don’t try to rush your results, you can look forward to a long and happy career as a successful runner.

Regular Training

The basic recommendation is for 20 minutes of running 3 times per week. Several studies show that this moderate amount of exercise is sufficient to achieve excellent fitness.

Always plan your workouts evenly throughout the week with a rest day in between, in order to give your body the time it needs to recover. For the first few months, you shouldn’t worry about how far you are running or walking, only for how long you are running. Once you have a solid base level of fitness established, you will have plenty of opportunities to increase your distance.

It’s OK to walk for most of your workout, or even for all of it. You should only run until you start feeling uncomfortable, then return to walking. Overweight runners need to be especially careful because of the extra stress on the joints. And for everyone, you should check with your doctor if you have any questions or concerns at all.
