A Plan for Newbies

running

It is very popular in many countries now running as exercise. It is easy to access , does not require many tools, is one of the most complete cardio and it works out the whole body.

When traveling many diminish or completely stop their workout for a lack of access to a gym or other items they need for their normal exercise routine, but running can be done almost anywhere and without requiring many tools, with a good pair of snickers and a sports bra for women you’re ready to go out and do it (at least for me, I find it impossible to run without one).

The purpose of this routine is to run for more than 30 minutes straight. It’s the same routine I’ve used to start in this sport without having never  done it before.

If you want to know how to start running this is the Plan:

The idea is to start gradually combining fast walks with jogging, and to progressively reduce the walking periods and gradually increase the continuous running time.

  • Perform three sessions per week leaving a rest day in between.
  • Do your jogging at a moderate intensity, this Plan does not seek to improve your running speed, but to get 40 minutes of continuous running. If you know how to use a heart rate monitor, it should be no more than 70% of your maximum heart rate.
  • Make not too intense stretching after each session, not before them.
  • If you have any special health condition or doubt about it, consult your doctor.
  • Prefers soft ground such as a park and try to get good shoes, which can be the same for trekking.RUNNING
