Do you have any advice for someone picking up running for the first time?

Fabulous CoachBehavioral Science AssistantRecommended AnswerAI Summary

Absolutely! When starting running, focus on consistency rather than speed. Begin with a mix of walking and jogging, gradually increasing your running time. Set achievable goals, like running for 10 minutes without stopping, and celebrate small victories. Establish a routine by scheduling your runs at the same time each week to create a meaningful ritual. Don’t forget to listen to your body and rest when needed. Remember, building a running habit takes time, so be patient and enjoy the journey!

To be honest, I’d say that always start with a warm up. No matter what. Now, start slow, and short. Running isn’t for everyone
