Running

[A. Cannon 1st MRB]

So I want to start to get more active and in shape and I want to know if some of you run everyday and have some advice for me as beginner.

Start off short, maybe 1-2 km and build from there. Run every other day to avoid shine splints and get some good running shoes.

[J. Ascencio 1st MRB]

Start with run/walks. While it’s tempting to just go out and run as fast as you can for as long as you can, you’ll ultimately run longer, feel stronger, and stay injury free if you start by adding short bouts of running to your regular walks and gradually increasing the amount of time that you spend run.

Let the body be the boss. Some muscle aches and soreness – especially in the quadriceps and calves - are to be expected any time you are pushing your body farther or faster than it’s accustomed to going. But there are some pains that you shouldn’t ignore. Any sharp pains or pains that persist or worsen as you walk, run, or go about your daily activities are signals to rest for at least three days and see a doctor. Also, beware of any pains that are on one side of the body, but not the other.

+1 to everything they said, also stretch before you run and invest in a decent pair of runners shoes they will make a world of difference on how you feel before during and after.

I walk or ride my mountain bike to work every day, which is 4 mile round trip. I also try to walk or ride my bike as much as possible as my transportation. i have found this is helping me stay in shape even though I have been sitting in an office job for the last 2 years.
