  1. What Every New Runner Needs to Know Before Hitting the Road?

  2. Running is a vigorous activity that can help one increase his or her fitness levels. It helps to control one’s heart rate, enhance one’s lung function, and regulate one’s emotions. However, if you have never practiced running before, then it would be helpful to get some tips and advice about running in order to avoid injuries and make the run as smooth as possible. 02

  3. Setting a Goal: Run Your First 5K One of the first things you should do is set an objective of running a 5- kilometre race. Suppose a person has a goal in mind. In that case, it becomes easier to concentrate and work hard towards achieving the goal. 02

  4. Choosing the Right Running Shoes When going for a run, one must select the correct shoes. When in doubt, go to a specialized running shoe store and put on a few pairs of shoes, choosing the most comfortable pair. Please do not focus on the running form or stride; settling for whatever natural stride one may possess at the beginning is advisable. If necessary, with time, you can fine-tune your form with the intervention of a physiotherapist. 02

  5. The Run-Walk Method for Beginners The run-walk method used by Olympian Jeff Galloway is quite helpful for beginners. This plan recommends running steadily with walk breaks in between until the finish line. This moderate exercise involves picking up a pace for a particular distance before slowing down to a walk for the same distance. Begin the exercise by running for one minute and then walking for one minute in a to-and-for manner. 02

  6. Injury Prevention via Stretching and Precautions However, taking precautions at the initial stage of practicing running is also essential to avoid injuries. Try to execute dynamic stretches before and after the run, like squats, stretching exercises, kicking legs high and sideward bends. Do not leave the soles of your feet tight because the constant impact on the pavement can hurt you. 02

  7. The Joy of Running and Making Progress Yes, running can be a lot of fun and intriguing. The feeling of being able to do it, making positive behavioural changes, and achieving the race day is fantastic. If you are unsure of something or need further assistance, do not hesitate to consult a physiotherapy clinic in Kitchener, such as Highland Physio & Rehab. 02
