“HOW TO START RUNNING NOW: 7 TIPS TO GET YOU ON YOUR WAY”

img_6834-editA few weeks ago I was interviewed for Bustle.com‘s article on tips for getting started with running.

I thought some of you may perhaps benefit from some of the questions I answered.

If you are new to running, perhaps you have found other tricks and tips that have worked for you! While we are all different, it’s important to always begin slowly and to build mileage gradually. Before you know it, you’ll be running harder and further than before!

Have a tip I didn’t mention in the article? Please share it with the class in the comments!

Sometimes it’s hard to predict what a new race goal should be, what is possible, what is “possibly” possible, and what is possible if a miracle occurs.

If you are thinking about a new race goal, and trying to crunch the numbers or predict how one race time can predict race potential at a different distance, I recommend checking out some of the links in this blog:

Remember, there are lots of factors that should be considered when setting a race goal: course, time of year, current fitness, training time, and more.
