What are some novice running tips?
Running is an excellent way to improve cardiovascular health. Building a running practice takes time and should be approached incrementally. If you are new to running, you should start with shorter runs or walks to ensure you don't put too much strain on your body. Once you have a sense of how far you can run, increase the distance you run or run the same distance but at a faster pace. Over time your body will increase it's capacity to withstand more strenuous running sessions. Eating well, stretching before and after running as well as getting quality sleep will help you improve as a runner.
