Runners: Did you start with Couch-to-5K?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I started running and could bearly do a mile straight… I liked running on a track since I can measure distance and the track is made for running. What I would do is start thinking about things I needed to acomplish while running and how I would do them. It kept my mind busy thinking while I was running. I added distance by remembering where I stopped running so the next time I could run a little further even if it were a couple of steps more. I would also walk the rest of the 5K so the muscles would continue to build and that was how I cooled down, I would walk at a faster pace in the begining then slow down at the end. Even when I got to my goal for distance I would still walk an extra 2 miles for cooling off. Another thing to remember is alway stretch before you begin and after you finish running.
