Start your running program
Do you wish to run five kilometers in a row, outrun your friends, or simply get fitter? Now! No matter how bad your form is right now, lace up your running shoes and follow this simple running program for eight weeks and you’ll be ready to run fight.
Beginners should follow the program exactly, while easy-going runners who have just run down a hill valley can use it to get back on track. Perfect!
Before you go out on your first run, you should know the following:
- Walking faster than usual, arms actively swung back and forth
- Easy running – controlled breathing, and possibly a conversation.
- Intensity increases slightly, you breathe during the race, and talking becomes difficult.
- Ready to run with your new best friend?

Find a long-term running plan
Thanks to your good running habits, you can now run for at least 20 minutes in a row. Now what? How do you stay motivated? A few great ideas:
Find new goals to keep you going. It could be faster or longer. Or you can search for a specific exercise run.
Add speed games to your rides to spice things up. Speed play is a fast-paced game with high intensity. Pick a distant point (building, lake, shop, lamppost) and slowly increase the pace.
Find inspiration for other running programs on the web.
Invest in good running shoes. Sweat-wicking running underwear, smart running pants, and beautiful shoes make running more enjoyable and enjoyable. If you have a limited budget, you should concentrate on shoes.
