I’m not entirely sure what it was, maybe I just figured out how to run correctly, but randomly tonight I was able to run three times as far without stopping to walk as I was the previous time!
It’s still not very far yet just about 600 m but still very pleased with my sudden increase in progress. Being a beginner is great because you get to improve so fast lol. Anyway I finished running about 1.2 km and then walking the last 800 m before taking a long break.
Plan to walk one more km.
If anyone else has had any improvements or struggles recently please share below I want to be inspired or encourage somebody with my seemingly boundless optimism right now haha
Thats awesome! Congrats! Running has become one of my favorite excercises and it is so very rewarding. Keep it up!
You may benefit from using a timer-based couch-to-5k program. It would be similar to what youre doing with the intervals of running and walking but more structured. There are a ton of apps out there to guide you through the whole thing should you feel inclined.
I’m running circles on a track so it’s pretty simple all things considered. It’s funny because I’ve heard so much stuff about running and always hated it to my core. This time feels like when I finally got over my initial gym hump and started enjoying it a bit. Just wished I knew sooner back when I did sports in school all those years ago.
Oh my God my bad running posture and form probably made football (not nice name for running back and forth across the field) way harder than they needed to be 😂
