How to start running?

Looking at your times your stamina seems high.

You should probably try running for about 20 mins and see how far you get.

You should then calculate how long it will take to go a certain way,

for example if you cando 1 mile in 20 mins then you should try about 3 miles every day or every other day if you are busy.

You should try to do about 3 times what you can do in 20 mins, obviously it will change as you become a better runner though.

Remember not to push yourself to hard though, if you feel to hot or dizzy or out of breatch walk for a few minutes.

If yo get a stitch lift your arms above your head and breath deeply as you need more oxygen in your lungs.

enjoy running :D

Well, of course, consult your doctor, lol (like anyone actually does that).

I'm in track and I run sprints, but preparation for distance and sprints when it comes to staying physically well aren't much different.

Drink water and stay hydrated, seriously. Before doing the actual run, warm up a bit (maybe with some cycling), and stretch. By stretch, I mean STRETCH! Stretch your calves, your thighs, your lower back, upper back, chest, forearms, everything. Every muscle is connected, so don't skip ANY. Look some stretches up on the internet till you have a list of stretches for every muscle. BTW, don't stretch too much right away, just be smart about it, cuz you don't wanna pull anything before you even start. Find a different source for how to stretch like a smart person.

Lastly, make sure your shoes are of high quality. By this, I mean they should have cushion, and they should have good arches.

Another good idea is to use a rolling pin or a filled 2 liter soda bottle or something (since you have never run before) and roll it rather strongly against your calf muscles and thighs to loosen up your muscles from their lifelong hibernation. This helps prevent shin splints when used on calves and ultimately rolls any tight spots and knots out if you do it enough.

Remember, biking is much lower impact than running, so running is gonna be a whole new ball game for your body. Drink milk too.

Start with a moderate distance, like a mile or so. Thanks to your cycling, you'll have the stamina to run longer but, as koztru mentioned, running and cycling are different. Increase the distance gradually because it will take you some time to build up the specific strength you need for running. If you run too long too soon, you'll get pains in your ligaments. As for pace, just go at whatever speed you find comfortable - until you take your running more seriously.

u have to eat ur breakfast

then wait for an hour

then u walk if u feel ur body is heavy then try to walk a lil faster n faster then after 3 min u can jog

so ur legs don't get tired

then make it faster n run

if ur body is light on ur legs u can just wait an hr after breakfast then start running

Download the 'couch to 5 k' for your ipod. Its a guide to start jogging, you go from couch potato to 5 kilometres with it. It tells you when to walk, and will play music until its time to jog, then more music, then it will get you to jog for a bit longer etc.

lol run till your out of breath , then walk a lil then run again , slowly over a few weeks you will get fitter , set the pace your body wants to go , it will soon tell you if your over doing it mate

Do as much as you're capable of; try jogging instead of running first, just so you know what you're in for.

to run you put one foot in front of the other x
