Tips To Start Running And To Be Successful

Whether you are aiming to run a marathon or take the dog for a leisurely jog several times a week, there are a few helpful tips that will ensure your success. Here are the top 3 tips that our personal trainers tell their clients that are looking to start a regular running routine.

1- Get yourself a heart rate monitor so that you can track your heart rate during the run. This information will help you know when to slow down in order to conserve energy allowing you to finish the run. It will also let you know when you can push harder to improve on your previous times. Think of your heart rate monitor as the gas gauge for your body.

2- Make sure that you have the proper running shoes for your feet and proper running clothes so that your sweat wicks away and you don’t get friction on your skin.

3- Be sure to do a proper warm-up prior to any run you do, regardless of the length. Being loose and limber is very important to your success as well as helping to prevent injuries. Here is a great article on how to do a proper runner’s warm-up.
