I’ve never been a runner, but I’d like to become one. Where do I begin?
Hey, Shelly!
I’ve been running for almost 20 years and I love it. I’ve been on the high school cross country team and run races up to 13.1 miles. But not everyone who runs loves running. Weird, huh?
As for how to become a runner, well, you just start running and you’re a runner. That’s the short answer.
The longer answer involves looking at your motivation to start running and what you want to gain from running. Also, take into account any injuries or limitations you may have and your current level of physical conditioning. Knowing all of these things will help you figure out how to get started and what kind of running program to use.
If you need help with that, let me know!
