Beginners Running Tips - What Running Schedule
Should Beginners Use?
3
When you're starting out to be a runner, it is
often difficult to know what is a correct
schedule - how often should you run. It's easy to
find examples of people doing it every day -
which is great if you've been a runner for some
time. But for beginners, running everyday can
look more like a chore than anything else.
4
Here's a tip - if you are a beginner or just
starting out, start slow. You need to give your
body time to adjust. For most people, becoming a
runner is very different than what their bodies
are used to. Show your body how easy it is.
5
For beginners, the optimal schedule would be to
run 3 or 4 times a week, with at least a day's
rest in between. Start out by doing it 3 times a
week, moving towards running every other day as
you get better.
6
Having that day of rest is important - especially
for beginners - for two reasons. First, it gives
you time to adjust. Think of it this way - if you
hit yourself with a hammer, it hurts but you'll
get over it if you hit yourself with a hammer
two times in a row, you'll want to throw the
hammer away. The day of rest reduces the stress
that your body will get from the change of habit.
7
The second reason for why the day of rest is
important is physiological. When you're running,
your muscles will be working more than usual.
Increased stress causes your muscles to adjust,
which takes time. The day of rest gives your
muscles time to grow and change - which makes you
a better runner over time. That is why the day
you DON'T run is just as important as the day you
DO.
8
The general tip for beginner runners is to
UNDER-perform to run less often, slower, and for
a shorter time than you physically can. This does
two things. First, it sends a message to your
subconscious mind, saying "see, nothing to it."
Second, it leaves you wanting more - you want to
run longer, faster, more often.
9
This may seem inefficient at first. But remember
- the goal a beginners running needs to have
initially is to turn running into a habit. It
generally takes about 28 repetitions for
something to become a habit - so it will take a
few weeks of "slow" runs to get you going. But as
you begin doing it habitually, the result will be
magical.
