Beginner Exercise Tips for Runners

Since the time of recorded history there have been life lessons presented that can be generalized to all areas of your life. The media, all forms, serves as the communications director and lead teacher in dispersing the most important lessons.

You may believe that you have nothing to learn from popular culture and I would say you’re very wrong. Popular culture is the ultimate lesson planner of our day. It punctuates the themes the collective unconscious is screaming about. It shouldn’t be a surprise that hope is one of those issues.

Running is like any other sport or academic goals you’ve set out to pursue. We need to be prepared inwardly and outwardly. Outward elements like the weather, inward elements like thoughts. Mental, physical and emotional preparedness is essential to the success of any journey, and making it an enjoyable one should be added to this list as well.

Some may call it delusional, but if you look deeper what you see is that the winning didn’t have to wait for the Olympics; it happened the day they put their heart and soul into forming the team and beginning their practice.

Going the distance a. Check whether you are running too hard. You should be able to talk to a person while you are running without gasping for air. If you cannot, slow down your pace. b. If running three days a week is not enough of a workout, add a fourth day. But never increase the number of times you run per week and the distance you run at the same time. Add an occasional long run to your schedule. This will force your cardiovascular system to work more efficiently and will give you a well-earned sense of accomplishment. Drink water before, during, and after you run, especially if it is warm or humid outside.

Weather a. Avoid running in extreme heat. If the weather is too warm, try cutting down on mileage. Dress lightly. Midday is the best time for winter running as you can take full advantage of whatever warmth the sun provides. b. Wear a wool hat in cold weather as you can loose a great amount of body heat through an uncovered head. c. If possible, move against the wind on your way out and with the wind going home. This will cut down on the wind-chill factor when you are perspiring.

Easy running schedule for beginners: Do not start off running at full tilt. Begin with easy rhythm, mixing running and walking. Following schedule can help. Week#1: Walk for 20 minutes. Week#2: Walk for 30 minutes. Week#3: Run for 2 minutes and walk for 4 minutes. Do this five times. Week#4: Run for 3 minutes and walk for 3 minutes. Do this five times.
