Morning run for absolute beginners

in #health8 years ago

I started off this day with a morning run:


Strava running

This time I used a training schedule for absolute beginners (which I obviously am, lol). The goal for this schedule is to be able to run for 30min straight after completing 30 training sessions (aiming for 2-3 sessions a week). However, there's also a score you have to give yourself after each session. This score represents the way you feel, physically, after completing a training. If it is above a certain level, you have to do the same training again in stead of advancing to the next. If it is even higher, then you'll have to start over from the beginning. This is to prevent you from overstressing your body.

Today's workout consisted of a total of 8 minutes running, in intervals, with 3 minutes walking in between. I felt pretty comfortable with this pace and I'll perform the next training after about a day or two.

After that, we went to take our eldest son to a famous Dutch theme park called Efteling, and I went way over my daily goal of 4200 steps :)

All in all a good day I'd say!

I can not get myself to run in the morning. Although I read that running is not so useful as they say about him. Greater stress on the joints. Running on the treadmill is protected by our maple trees, but jogging in the fresh air is more pleasant and useful. What do you think of it?

I think you are right about the stress on the body, but I'd like to believe it's better than sitting still. I also like to get out of the house and get some fresh air, so that motivates me.

Yes! This is definitely better and more useful than inaction! I got a lot of health problems, leading a sedentary lifestyle.

If you train sensibly and take time to rest and recover properly, running is no where near as "unhealthy" as the old myths. Also, proper running trainers are so well researched now that much of the stress is dealt with. Some say that treadmill running is actually worse for you than running outside as you don;t get the variety of surfaces to stimulate different responses in your joints and muscles. An important message I give to the runners I coach is to ensure you take rest days and also have an easy week every 4 or 5 weeks to allow the body to recover, adapt and strengthen.

Thanks! I’ll check it out.

Good work!!!

Watch out! Don’t push the limits with your running exercise. Take it to a higher level in little steps. I pushed the limits 2 years ago by intensivate the training to soon. It resulted in 4 months knee-insury.

Thanks, I'll try to take it slow (probably the hardest part of starting).
