So what should you be doing to get started I hear you say. Well, it depends on your ability. If you have never run before, simply going for a 10 minute brisk walk is a great start. You will gradually build up your distance and mix in some short runs.
If you used to going for the odd jog, each run should take about 20 or 30 minutes, three times a week. Be sure to space out these three days throughout the week to give yourself a chance to rest and recover between efforts. And don't worry about how fast you're going. Running faster can wait until your bones are stronger and your body is fitter. For now focus on gradually increasing the time or distance you run.We will have training plans and goals for you too so don't worry.
