I’m training myself to run long distance fast just incase someone tries to kidnap me in the future.

I literally just came back from running and I just want to say: if you’re worried that people are going to look at you, just wake up at 5-6-7 am and do the jogging then. I’ve done my first ever jog at 6am today, I didn’t see a single soul- except a cute snail I named Tony.

my coach taught me "Walk when you need to, run when you can."

[aadhya]

why does everyone look so good when they run. I look like a limping idiot

Tips: Sprint at the end. Really lay it out. Don't leave any energy in the tank. This will really help you build speed over time.

[LucidKay]

I feel like if I run in my neighborhood everyone is gonna run with me because they think something is going on 😭💀

Running is a mind game. Your body wants to stop, but your mind needs to be in charge!

[paulaemm]

My beginner's tip may not be popular, but it's true: It's ok to walk when you need to. Just keep going and trying.

[victoriamuresan]

You are making me wanna go to run . And it is 1 in the morning

[aseeker]

My problem is that I think too much. I'll start thinking about my breathing, how my body is moving, the distance, my chest etc...then I end up feeling overwhelmed and quit.

When I run in the morning at 4:30am, The dogs bark thinking of me as a theif, Dogs are my motivation I run from them 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

When you start out jogging, your chest will feel like it will explode, ignore the pain and your second wind will come, after that it will get easier.  The beginning stages will be the hardest.

I’m trying to learn how to not get out of breath in 10 seconds

[pengythepenguin]

My motivation is I pretend I'm training to become stronger so I can save my family that has been held hostage or I'm training for the Arena like in the Hunger Games

The 3 things that enabled me to massively improve my running capability were the following:
1) SLOW DOWN!!!
I was running way too fast, which was exhausting me very early. I've found that they best way to go is to start slower, and naturally increase pace as you go along if you wish. I know that sounds strange but it seems to be the case for me
2) Get a better technique.
This is very important too. With the correct technique (as shown in this video) you seem to just go faster with far less effort. Its amazing!
3) Eat healthier
Sounds cliche but Ive stopped eating sweat treats (biscuits, cakes... I still have honey and a bit of sugar though) and drinking caffeine. (I highly doubt the caffeine has had any effect on my running but the cutting down on sugar certainly has because I no longer get acid reflux while running.

I have still got a bit of a problem with rib and shoulder pain that I haven't found a solution to yet but running with a good posture has definitely prolonged the pain until near the end of my run.

This may not work for you but I just thought it may be a useful read. Thanks for reading!

Tip : listen to the pirates of the caribbean theme song on repeat.

[Browneyes_]

I want to get into running but I have such bad anxiety and I start thinking, "what if people are laughing at me or staring." 🤦🏻‍♀️😓

[iqhlblb]

My motivation is pretending my dad is chasing me with a belt

Remember: we are always our worst critics.
People couldn't care less about how you run/how sweaty you look. Using shyness as a reason to not go out for a run is merely an excuse to stay lazy. And if you happen to notice someone looking at you weird - and you don't know them - just stick up your middle finger and smile! At least one of you is moving their legs.
