How To Start Running!

Running for Beginners:

Get off the couch, and onto the sidewalk!

Hello all! My friends and I decided yesterday that in April, we’re going to do a 5K Graffiti Run here in Houston, which is very similar to the Color Run. This is going to be a lot of fun, except for one thing… I don’t run. I haven’t ran in years. So I figured that I would post a series of videos over the next few days to help motivate you to get running with me!

Here’s some running tips for beginners that I found in this video to be very helpful to keep in mind:

Have proper foot wear
Stay Hydrated
Focus on your breathing
Watch your stepping
Check Heart rate
Watch traffic
Avoid lonely trails

Because I have an old back injury, I’m going to take the pace to working up to running slower than he suggested in the video, so I’m going to be following this formula to get me 5K ready!

The system I’ll be using

Keep looking here for more posts about running, even if you’re an old pro! What helpful tips do you have for those of us who are starting out? What’s your goal of running to get to by the end of April?
