But intervals are good. New runners can not straight up run for 10 mins on their first day. They gotta build up their cardio. Running in intervals helps.
@@Kennylovessandwiches you could do it that way. But intervals are periods of high effort followed but a recovery period. Intervals are in a heart rate zone in which you can not maintain for a long time to build speed. You can walk or jog between sets but its best to stay moving so standing is not recommended.
Very good tip. This is exactly what I did when I initially started running for losing my weight. I started running for 5 to 6 days a week and I couldn't run not more than 10-12 minutes. Eventually as days went by I could feel my endurance is improved, my weight was losing and I was getting better at it. Now I can run for over 50 minutes and I'll be participating in a marathon in the next month. Moral of the story is CONSISTENCY
I didn't even start out running. I knew that I'd just stop if I tried to start by running. So I started walking long distances instead, progressively moving to running.
is it completely okay to take this guy's advice? because unlike walking, running takes a big toll on your knees. btw what did he mean by this? like running fast or jogging for the first few days?
Hi, i am a beginner and want to do like you do but I go to work 5.30 am and back home 9.30 pm. Im curious if I run after i back home, is that will give bad impact to my health?
@@tulipflower8947 NO just run and don't over excert your body walk if you have to instead of standing and for the love of God, do it consistently even when you had the worst day at work you will on feel great after every run
I'm looking to getting an 18 minute 5k. Currently at 22:16 on my fourth 5k attempt ever. I'm not really a runner but started implementing it into my routine now. Any tips to get my desired time? Looking to do this by the end of October
I used to love running my whole youth.... Was 165 lbs and could run forever.... Im now coose to 260 with a twice torn ACL, mcl and meniscus in my left knee and haven't run in years.....i miss the solitude of when the perect song hits and you're in that zone. I miss seeing the world through that lense.... I'm dusting off the old Newton's and going to start my journey in the am
Also the most important thing about getting into running is give yourself rest. If you dont give yourself proper rest you risk injuries and you will under perform which might csuse you to feel discouraged.
I started running consistently (4-5 days/week) doing like 2-3 miles each time and now I’ve started straining my right hip and knee. Am I running too hard? How to I keep myself from straining that leg over longer distances?
@@totaldramaisland322 give yourself rest. Make sure you Also have the right pair of sneakers to run with plenty of cushion. You might me over doing it but you are the only one who can be the judge of that .
@@jwill9237 I rest after getting home but then start to feel the discomfort in my hip or knee. I don’t understand how other people can run 5 or 6 continuous miles without getting strained?
"Run for time" is a great advice, but you don't actually have to run 10-15 min. at your first day. I have started running intentionally. While I was working outside, (just a few seconds - but everyday). I slowly adding 15-30 seconds more and right now I run for 10 months. Good luck for everybody who is starting - it is worth it!
I did 13.6 miles in my first week of running. I ran 4 times 4k (best time: 20:18:9, 8:10 per mile per mile) and I did a one endurance run , 7k (41:23:10, pace : 9:31 per mile)I will run 10k race in 18 days. btw I am 14 , And my dream is do marathon, it will be years of grinding, so keep for me crossed fingers. I WILL NOT STOP.
As someone who has recently started running, I agree. To build the base fitness, I started out just speed-walking for 30 minutes, 4 times a week at an incline. Once I felt my lung capacity improve and my body became more efficient, I started running at 5 mph for 5 minutes at a time, splitting up my 30-minute speed walk. I've increased the amount I'm running compared to walking progressively and right now I walk for 5 minutes as a warm-up, then run 5.5 mph for about 15 minutes, and then run at 7 mph for about 5 minutes, or whatever makes me feel like I'm pushing it for a decent sprint. I'm really enjoying running because I can see myself improving and it's very encouraging.
I run but I’m a lifter and play rec sports. That said, my first race was a 10 miler. All my forms of exercise were a contribution to getting ready for a race.
I can only run 5 mins at most and I need to take 2 breaks throughout. Unfortunately my sleeping has been suffering after i quit smoking weed so i havent ran most of this week but now that my asthma will get better i hope ill be able to run more consistently once my sleep gets back to normal.
I recently started running again after years, my problem is my muscles get very pumped and hurt when I run. I gain alot of muscle in my calf’s but it sucks. I’m going to stick to 2x a week at 9min sessions and hope every other week I increase the time. I hope once my calves and legs grow a lot they won’t hurt as much and I can withstand more time.
Running is already become fun for me, but weather is such a killer, like all the sidewalks are covered in ice and snow, and I don’t like treadmill running, so I don’t really know what to do but just a million jumping jacks
No, It can be too hard: start with runs with pauses: for 1 min, then walk for 2 min, repeat for sum 20 minutes. Every week make breaks a little shorter and run a little longer (2 min, 3 min, 5 min), but keep 20 min sum, till you manage 20 min without pause and with pleasure! It works, you’ll love running, garantie
I run 3x1 mile on my first week, 3x3 miles every week for the next 3 weeks and now im at 2x 3miles and 1x10 miles every week.. dude im dying on every run but the results are worth it
I love running. It’s so good for my mental health. What is your advice in regards to sore calves. Is it possible to over stretch and massage? Or the more the better? I could run everyday if it wasn’t for sore calves.
How long do you lay the foundations? I have been running for a month, i dont think I'm loosing weight. I don't weight myself, ever. but I look the same. I do enjoy running, its not just to loose weight but I'm feeling a little pressure here.
Aint no one running for 5-10 min right off the bat. 30 seconds to a minute maybe before they have to walk. run walk for a given time to start out then slowly increase the running interval time and shorten the walking interval time. also, come one 20 minute continuous by the end of week one! We are talking about beginner runners with no athletic or physical background bare maybe PE class in high school right?
Hi! Could you do a video for treadmills runners? I have young children and it’s hard to actually get out and run but I have a treadmill and would love to get a running routine ❤
To all the beginner BEGINNERs out there ( you know what I mean -> lifetime couchpotato to running, I've been there) Start with a walk - run schedule. There are tons of schedules online but don't overdo it. If you can only run 3 min at a time after week 1 thats totally ok. Remember to have enough rest days and if things start hurting take it slower. I got a stress fracture after running 20 mins 3 times a week for 6 weeks. I had to quit running and be in a cast for 6 weeks. Started just walking and building that up. After a year of that my bones were strong enough to start running with an even slower increase in time. Now I run 5k and walk 15k and still slowly building to eventually do more! take it extremely slow if you have never done much sport and have weak muscles like I did. Or you're going to hurt yourself. I still have pain in that ankle sometimes and it's been 2 years. Really trust me don't overdo it.
Running for 10mins uninterrupted is a big ask for a beginner lol. I can run 10-20kms now without issue, but when I was starting I felt dead after 3 minutes. Any "beginner" routine that isn't run/walk is dubious.
@@mattpassos5689I probably agree, someone whose been doing a bunch of other endurance related sport and want to work towards a marathon could probably start with this, but the stuff on Hal Higdon's website is probably best. (I did kickboxing and weight training but still struggled running 10 minutes when I started, but that could have been poor pacing rather than anything else).
I am an active person I have been swimming for years now on nearly daily basis. I can walk for hours non stop I exercice as much as I can but I hated runing and just assumed it would be easy for me because I am active lol. I was so disappointed in myself when I could barely finish 6 minutes before feeling I couldn't breath lol. I started doubting everything i knew of myself.
@@leeknowe1598 I'm starting to run with my gf, she ran for like, 1.30mins and was like "I don't think I could ever run any longer distance at all". A month later she walk/ran 2.8km in 20mins. Nothing crazy, but a huge improvement in a very short time. Hang in there!
I did 13.6 miles in my first week of running. I ran 4 times 4k (best time: 20:18:9, 8:10 per mile per mile) and I did a one endurance run , 7k (41:23:10, pace : 9:31 per mile)I will run 10k race in 18 days. btw I am 14 , And my dream is do marathon, it will be years of grinding, so keep for me crossed fingers.

Make sure your going at a very easy pace. You don’t wanna get tired too quick. Walking is fine just try to push yourself. Like he said don’t worry about speed bc that will always come in time. Just focus on building that stamina and distance. eating right and music helps to much
I started with worse. But now I can run a 10k in under an hour. This short gave a very useful advice. Just try to build up a routine and the endurance and speed will build up over time. Additionally, watch videos on how to achieve a proper running form, and get a proper running shoe that you find comfortable.
This was perfect. I've seen shorts laying out "beginner" routines with speedwork, strength sessions, etc. This is actually healthy, realistic and doable.
I’ve seen shorts saying for a fresh beginner runner, run 20 minutes straight for the first 3 days, then on day 4 run for 2 miles, then day 5 and 6, run for 40-60 minutes. If you’re a true beginner, you wouldn’t be able to run the first five minutes strrakght without feeling like youre about to die. When I first started running, I did 1-4. Meaning I’d run at an easy pace for 60 seconds then I’d walk for 4, and I’d do that for 15-20 minutes then just moved forward from there. This is rlly helpful advice in this video tho
yea, I think the problem is that everyone has a diffirent view on what it is to be a beginer. Some people think its when you train for your first race, some think its you first week, some think its you first couple months.
@@Holly-ws8qjyea same. I started a couple months ago and could run a quarter mile MAX. Now Im up to 5-6 miles easily. Run/walk is definitley key to the first month or so and definitley no speed work is needed at that time
@@ThePenguin134how did your progression work? Can you break it down for me please x I can only run 2 mins tops before gassing out and stopping or walking for a few mins before being able to run again but for a minute and rest again. How did you progress to 5 mile non stop what was the routine ? Thanks !
Yeah, legit. I started out walking to get my body used to physical exertion, and walking was something I knew I could force myself to do regularly and consistently. Then I started running in time-based intervals with walking in between. That's how I got started. I think consistency and running for time are the best ways to start.
Its true in the beginning i felt heavy and out of breath even though I'm small. I also felt a little soreness and pain on my legs. Once my body got used to it I felt so light while I ran and I could run longer without being out of breath.
Thanks man, that sounds sound and it’s encouraging. I’ve always been focusing on distance 😢 and teetered out. I can do 5-10 minutes a day for 4 days!!! Rather than going hard 1 day of a week then Quitting cause I went too hard in myself. 😊
Thanks for your tips. Today I lowered my speed on the treadmill and ran for 23 mins. Since starting to run last month I could only do 3 mins tops so those 23 mins are a big deal.
This is helpful I just started today and 2 minutes was about all I had before I needed to walk for about 3 minutes then I’d run about 2 and walk 3 again. Gotta start somwhere
Honestly bro Im a masters runner (a runner over 40) and have been running for a very long time. Your advice is generally sound and very good. This is excellent advice for new runners.
@@SSTillmanEsq Hello! Breathing through both nose and mouth is the best. Super elite athletes may train while only nose breathing... I would recommend not doing that. So 2 things... breathe through both and develop a breathing cadence (whatever is comfortable) so a breathing cadence would be like.... Foot strike, foot strike, breathe in, breathe in Foot strike, Foot strike, breath out, breath out. Do whatever is comfortable but your breathing should be controlled and consistent.
@@SSTillmanEsq Your welcome! And I'm honored! 😀 I just noticed your comment now.. weird! And I hope running does for you what it has done for me for many many years. Running has been my release, my go to. Running helps me stay healthy, it helps me sleep and feel better, it keeps my depression at bay, it makes me feels strong and confident. It has done wonders for me throughout my life and I hope it does for you what it has done for me! Blessings!
Right now, I hate running because my fat jiggles so much that it makes it uncomfortable to run. However I know in order to get rid of the fat I have to start somewhere and just keep trying until I can build a better consistent habit; then running will eventually become easier. I'm turning 40 years old in 10 days so hopefully it's not too late for me 😢🥺 5'0 151lbs
Dont be afraid to run slow! Going slower is very important to building up your aerobic base! I just started running this year and im up to 9 mile runs at a 9:30 pace. But I started out jogging at 11-12 minutes miles for like 3 months
This is for any habit. I recently picked up stretching and for the first month I only did it for 5 minutes a day, eventually went up to 10 minutes a day in the 2nd month
Don't listen to this. If you're a beginner just walk fast on your first week for atleast 20-30 mins. Then the next week, you run for 20-30 seconds then walk for 1 min. Do that 4x. Then just adjust it and make it more difficult depending on you. Just make the process slow and easy. Or you'll injure yourself.
I disagree with the 4 days a week to start. If you’re having trouble with consistency, start with ONE day a week, and work you way up so that you’re building the habit. Doing 4 days a week for 2 weeks and stopping isn’t as beneficial as 1 day a week for 8 weeks. You can start with 2, or however many days you’d like, as long as you listen to your body and know you’re sustaining the habit.
