New to running? Do you see these terms, plans, and workouts and don’t understand what they all mean? This is natural when beginning a running program.
You sometimes feel like you stepped into an advanced-level physics class when you should be in an intro to physical science.
So, let this serve as your introduction, and I’ll be your wonky professor.
A fish out of water, that’s the easiest way to describe what I looked like when I began running. I had no idea how to manage my effort, how to properly train to improve, or what shoes to buy. Hell, I didn’t even know the distance of a marathon!
However, I’ve learned a few things over time and through many errors. I’m still learning until now, and I don’t believe you ever stop. However, I hear specific questions from my non-running friends who are eager to get into it. I figured now would be a good time to share some of the lessons I’ve learned from my screw-ups and mishaps, so I can help others.
