If you are thinking about getting started on running the first thing you need to think about is why, what are your goals. Are you looking to lose weight, become fitter, compete? As well as looking for a great coach, whether be an online running coach, or something else, there are some basic tips here that can help get you started.
Starting carefully
Some people are so keen starting out that they push too hard, or they do something the wrong way without doing the research, and then are faced with an injury or are disheartened and give up. Starting out with care and smartly is the best thing you can do. The majority of people that give up after a run or two, do so because they go too fast and too hard before their body can handle it. It is important in your runs to allow for warm-ups, cooldowns, and to have periods where your body can rest. To be effective you need to learn to start slowly, pace the training as you pace the runs, learn what you are capable of and then work from there.
What distances do you want to run? If you want to do long-distance running then you need to build up the distance you can run gradually as part of your training program. Set some achievable goals and as you reach them, push the expectations further. When you are increasing your miles make sure you keep it to around 10% increases per week. You might want to think about starting on a treadmill where you can take recordings and measurements easily. You do not have to join a gym, you could invest in one for your home. Your online running coach can help.
Use an expert to create a training plan
With great online running coaching, you can have a training plan created that best suits your goals, fitness levels and experience. Find someone who trains for the type of running you want to do. A plan for 10k runs is going to look different to one for marathons. Make sure you stick to it and if it is not working out go back to your coach to get something better. Be sure you have the time you need to commit each week to your training.
Get the best gear you can
It helps when you are doing this seriously to spend some money on the right gear. A good pair or two of running shoes is especially important. You want something that will protect your feet. It can also help to invest in some moisture-wicking running clothing for days when it is warm out. Do some research online for the climate you live in and what runners use and talk to your coach. You need to be comfortable and your apparel should make the running more enjoyable not less!
Summary
With online running coaching and some careful preparation, you can see the best out of your new fitness plan. Just start slowly, wear the right gear and you will see gradual improvements in fitness, health, strength, endurance as well as things like speed and distance!
