- Start where you are. A journey of 10 kilometers begins with a single step. Don't be afraid to walk as you become a runner. That's great training too.
- Find a training buddy. Running with a friend or group can make the time go faster, help you go farther and make it all more fun.
- Get the right gear. Different runners have different needs. Visit a running specialty store to select the right shoe for you, such as Road Runner.
- Stay healthy. Build a solid foundation for training with good hydration, ample restorative sleep and a balanced diet.
- Pace yourself. Start your run easy and then speed up if you feel good. You should be able to chat, in full sentences, with your training buddy.
- See the forest and the trees. Have a multi-week training plan leading up to your first race, but tackle it one day at a time.
- It's okay to rest. Your body will gain fitness in the hours and days following a workout, so follow your hard runs with easy runs.
- Form your pit crew. A physical therapist, chiropractor and/or massage therapist can help you prevent and rehab your running aches and pains.
- Hit the hills. Pushing your body weight up a hill is like lifting weights as you run, making you stronger on the flats.
- Be true to you. Train in a way that's right for your abilities. Don't over exert yourself by trying to run too much too fast, take your time and you will see results.
