Running Guide for Beginners



Thanks to all who are reading this post cos that’s a sure proof of their interest in running. It helps strengthen the heart and cardiovascular systems and also reduces excess body fat; however, starting a new running habit can be overwhelming for beginners. It is therefore always advised not to start a running habit blindly rather learn some basic information about the same.

Starting a running program is not as difficult as it seems; however, as a beginner, one needs a great deal of motivation, encouragement and determination to run on the track. If one starts running properly then he or she will soon be able to discover the mental and physical benefits of the same. People all across the globe are suffering from many common ailments such as High Blood Pressure (HBP), diabetes, and obesity to name but only a few.

One should not scrimp on price too much; as a beginner, it is not essential to buy a very expensive pair of shoes. Running shoes differ from walking shoes in terms of design and fitness, it is therefore, crucial to choose the right shoe for running, never compromise on quality because low-quality shoes might cause injury to the feet. In addition to running shoes, the other most essential thing is a water bottle – while running, the body loses excess of water in the form of sweats and this may cause dehydration and therefore, taking a few sips of water while running is essential.

When a person plans to run, one aspect that he or she should consider is safety during the running session.  For instance, run circular routes to avoid retracing steps, stick to well-populated roads or paths while running in the dark, try to be with friends or in a group, resist the urge to wearing headphones, and never explore unknown places, besides others.
