    If youre really new then it really is just a buildup.

    Dont try to overdo it & dont trip about not lasting 40mins+ in one continuous session right off the bat.

    Doesnt hurt to take a few minutes break between running too in the beginning.

    Also dont start out full sprinting. Start with a walk, then light jog for a bit then the run.

    You gotta build up the resistance & get your muscles used to it. Then over time you will notice you'll be able to do a lil more n more over time, as long as you keep at it regularly.

    It can take a month to a few months, think of it like lifting weights. Start out with the bar n maybe some tens, then slowly build up.

    thanks man. and yeah i usually start out walking for at least 5 minutes before i start, and i have to take breaks between running cuz i cant do it all at once lol

    Honestly bro, only way to get rid of the pain in the area is to work them more, get through and push through it. Also buy some shoes with some foam and tie those mothafuckas tight

    Running is honestly 90% mental and breathing technique. Stand up straight and donā€™t slouch at all, head up and forward, lift ya knees up, push your hips out and go

    Breath through your nose and out through your mouth. Move your arms and in my experience taking longer strides is better, because thereā€™s less hard impact on your feet, I have long legs tho.

    yeah i think i just have to try to focus on running properly and make a habit out of the whole thing.

    No problem! & yeah the beginning is always the hardest to get into & keep at it. Dont get discouraged just because you cant last a straight 40mins right away, almost no one is great at running continuously at first. Its all about the build up, & the discipline to keep at it constantly.

    Good luck

    Donā€™t push yourself. Build a habit of doing 400m every day. Slow down when you feel youā€™re gasping for air. Control your effort, donā€™t worry about pace. That picks up over time naturally. And your effort should be E A S Y at these beginning stages.

    Skipping rope is so dreadful. I really hated it when I tried it for a while.

    skipping is light work

    not as satisfying as running tbh

    I have throw away shoes for running

    & part of the reason i invested in a treadmill just in case for weather or just because i cant or dont wanna go out or sumn

    Okay Yeah

    1. Get an Apple Watch
    2. Download Nike Run Club app
    3. Play the guided runs on ā€œGetting Startedā€ series. The first one is My First Run.

    This is akin to having a coach. Itā€™s very difficult to train yourself. I only learned how to really run this way. I enjoy running instead of dreading it now because Iā€™ve learnt how to actually run.

    +1 for NRC, s*** helped me get back into running after i stopped for a few years
