Foundations of Running: 3 Essential Workouts for Beginners

Ifyou’re new to the sport of running, it can be overwhelming getting started. Perhaps you’re worried about getting injured or overdoing it. Maybe you’ve seen fancy tempo or heart-based workouts on social media but don’t know if they’re right for you. There’s so much you could be doing, but what should be prioritized, and in what order? If you’re having a hard time getting into a rhythm, don’t fret. I get it. I’ve worked with plenty of novices and runners coming back from injuries and these 3 workouts below have been an enormous help. Not only will they boost your fitness quickly, but they leave space for you to customize each one based on your current fitness status and goals. Most importantly, they’ll keep you injury-free as you dip your feet into this great sport. Let’s jump right into it! <h1>Getting Out of the Starting Blocks on the Right Foot</h1> If you’re a complete novice to running, please know that you don’t necessarily have to follow any plan when starting out. Oftentimes I will encourage clients to just focus on the habit of lacing up their shoes and getting out of the door for 10–15 minutes. Once you feel like you’ve overcome that initial barrier, I recommend implementing these workouts into your routine. They’ll be sure to keep you accountable for adding variety and pace into your week so that you become stronger in all aspects of running. <a href="https://medium.com/runners-life/foundations-of-running-3-essential-workouts-for-beginners-d6e350edd79b">Click Here</a>
