To all the beginner BEGINNERs out there ( you know what I mean -> lifetime couchpotato to running, I've been there) Start with a walk - run schedule. There are tons of schedules online but don't overdo it. If you can only run 3 min at a time after week 1 thats totally ok. Remember to have enough rest days and if things start hurting take it slower. I got a stress fracture after running 20 mins 3 times a week for 6 weeks. I had to quit running and be in a cast for 6 weeks. Started just walking and building that up. After a year of that my bones were strong enough to start running with an even slower increase in time. Now I run 5k and walk 15k and still slowly building to eventually do more! take it extremely slow if you have never done much sport and have weak muscles like I did. Or you're going to hurt yourself. I still have pain in that ankle sometimes and it's been 2 years. Really trust me don't overdo it.
Wow thank you for that! Ex couch potato here 👋🏽 I wanted to change my lifestyle so I started walking. The goal was to reach 10k steps a day. Slowly but surely the walking started to increase to the point where I felt like I needed to add jogging into the mix to spice things up. However, how could I include a jog when I “hate” running?!?! Well, I had no choice but to start jogging. 😅. I’m adding a small amount of jogging hoping to be able to continue without stopping after 50ft lol. It’s not easy but I know that the more I do it, the better I get. Even if it’s a feet at a time lol
I'm looking to getting an 18 minute 5k. Currently at 22:16 on my fourth 5k attempt ever. I'm not really a runner but started implementing it into my routine now. Any tips to get my desired time? Looking to do this by the end of October
Very good tip. This is exactly what I did when I initially started running for losing my weight. I started running for 5 to 6 days a week and I couldn't run not more than 10-12 minutes. Eventually as days went by I could feel my endurance is improved, my weight was losing and I was getting better at it. Now I can run for over 50 minutes and I'll be participating in a marathon in the next month. Moral of the story is CONSISTENCY
I didn't even start out running. I knew that I'd just stop if I tried to start by running. So I started walking long distances instead, progressively moving to running.
is it completely okay to take this guy's advice? because unlike walking, running takes a big toll on your knees. btw what did he mean by this? like running fast or jogging for the first few days?
Hi, i am a beginner and want to do like you do but I go to work 5.30 am and back home 9.30 pm. Im curious if I run after i back home, is that will give bad impact to my health?
@@tulipflower8947 NO just run and don't over excert your body walk if you have to instead of standing and for the love of God, do it consistently even when you had the worst day at work you will on feel great after every run
But intervals are good. New runners can not straight up run for 10 mins on their first day. They gotta build up their cardio. Running in intervals helps.
@@Kennylovessandwiches you could do it that way. But intervals are periods of high effort followed but a recovery period. Intervals are in a heart rate zone in which you can not maintain for a long time to build speed. You can walk or jog between sets but its best to stay moving so standing is not recommended.
This was perfect. I've seen shorts laying out "beginner" routines with speedwork, strength sessions, etc. This is actually healthy, realistic and doable.
I’ve seen shorts saying for a fresh beginner runner, run 20 minutes straight for the first 3 days, then on day 4 run for 2 miles, then day 5 and 6, run for 40-60 minutes. If you’re a true beginner, you wouldn’t be able to run the first five minutes strrakght without feeling like youre about to die. When I first started running, I did 1-4. Meaning I’d run at an easy pace for 60 seconds then I’d walk for 4, and I’d do that for 15-20 minutes then just moved forward from there. This is rlly helpful advice in this video tho
yea, I think the problem is that everyone has a diffirent view on what it is to be a beginer. Some people think its when you train for your first race, some think its you first week, some think its you first couple months.
@@Holly-ws8qjyea same. I started a couple months ago and could run a quarter mile MAX. Now Im up to 5-6 miles easily. Run/walk is definitley key to the first month or so and definitley no speed work is needed at that time
@@ThePenguin134how did your progression work? Can you break it down for me please x I can only run 2 mins tops before gassing out and stopping or walking for a few mins before being able to run again but for a minute and rest again. How did you progress to 5 mile non stop what was the routine ? Thanks !
Yeah, legit. I started out walking to get my body used to physical exertion, and walking was something I knew I could force myself to do regularly and consistently. Then I started running in time-based intervals with walking in between. That's how I got started. I think consistency and running for time are the best ways to start.
Thanks man, that sounds sound and it’s encouraging. I’ve always been focusing on distance 😢 and teetered out. I can do 5-10 minutes a day for 4 days!!! Rather than going hard 1 day of a week then Quitting cause I went too hard in myself. 😊

@@SSTillmanEsq Hello! Breathing through both nose and mouth is the best. Super elite athletes may train while only nose breathing... I would recommend not doing that. So 2 things... breathe through both and develop a breathing cadence (whatever is comfortable) so a breathing cadence would be like.... Foot strike, foot strike, breathe in, breathe in Foot strike, Foot strike, breath out, breath out. Do whatever is comfortable but your breathing should be controlled and consistent.
@@SSTillmanEsq Your welcome! And I'm honored! 😀 I just noticed your comment now.. weird! And I hope running does for you what it has done for me for many many years. Running has been my release, my go to. Running helps me stay healthy, it helps me sleep and feel better, it keeps my depression at bay, it makes me feels strong and confident. It has done wonders for me throughout my life and I hope it does for you what it has done for me! Blessings!
Its true in the beginning i felt heavy and out of breath even though I'm small. I also felt a little soreness and pain on my legs. Once my body got used to it I felt so light while I ran and I could run longer without being out of breath.
Great advice , I wrestled when I was young and ran a lot . Got up to 260, high blood pressure and started running again after some years of not exercising. In beginning couldn’t run much or fast but was focused on mileage , way over did it, got runners knee and shin splints and plantars and all that , but I kept pushing through and pushing through the pain with a little rest in there and now today I have lost over 100 pounds and I ran 8.8 miles today without walking . Still get some shin pain from time to time but have pretty much ironed it out . Great advice .
Thanks for your tips. Today I lowered my speed on the treadmill and ran for 23 mins. Since starting to run last month I could only do 3 mins tops so those 23 mins are a big deal.
This is helpful I just started today and 2 minutes was about all I had before I needed to walk for about 3 minutes then I’d run about 2 and walk 3 again. Gotta start somwhere
Also the most important thing about getting into running is give yourself rest. If you dont give yourself proper rest you risk injuries and you will under perform which might csuse you to feel discouraged.
I started running consistently (4-5 days/week) doing like 2-3 miles each time and now I’ve started straining my right hip and knee. Am I running too hard? How to I keep myself from straining that leg over longer distances?
@@totaldramaisland322 give yourself rest. Make sure you Also have the right pair of sneakers to run with plenty of cushion. You might me over doing it but you are the only one who can be the judge of that .

Great advice. For those who start running and have been relatively inactive (aka…not working out or playing sports regularly), definitely take it slow in the beginning as it’s very easy to injure yourself as running shocks a lot of muscles and tendons.
Make sure your going at a very easy pace. You don’t wanna get tired too quick. Walking is fine just try to push yourself. Like he said don’t worry about speed bc that will always come in time. Just focus on building that stamina and distance. eating right and music helps to much
I started with worse. But now I can run a 10k in under an hour. This short gave a very useful advice. Just try to build up a routine and the endurance and speed will build up over time. Additionally, watch videos on how to achieve a proper running form, and get a proper running shoe that you find comfortable.
Running for 10mins uninterrupted is a big ask for a beginner lol. I can run 10-20kms now without issue, but when I was starting I felt dead after 3 minutes. Any "beginner" routine that isn't run/walk is dubious.
@@mattpassos5689I probably agree, someone whose been doing a bunch of other endurance related sport and want to work towards a marathon could probably start with this, but the stuff on Hal Higdon's website is probably best. (I did kickboxing and weight training but still struggled running 10 minutes when I started, but that could have been poor pacing rather than anything else).
I am an active person I have been swimming for years now on nearly daily basis. I can walk for hours non stop I exercice as much as I can but I hated runing and just assumed it would be easy for me because I am active lol. I was so disappointed in myself when I could barely finish 6 minutes before feeling I couldn't breath lol. I started doubting everything i knew of myself.
@@leeknowe1598 I'm starting to run with my gf, she ran for like, 1.30mins and was like "I don't think I could ever run any longer distance at all". A month later she walk/ran 2.8km in 20mins. Nothing crazy, but a huge improvement in a very short time. Hang in there!
I did 13.6 miles in my first week of running. I ran 4 times 4k (best time: 20:18:9, 8:10 per mile per mile) and I did a one endurance run , 7k (41:23:10, pace : 9:31 per mile)I will run 10k race in 18 days. btw I am 14 , And my dream is do marathon, it will be years of grinding, so keep for me crossed fingers. I WILL NOT STOP.
I can only run 5 mins at most and I need to take 2 breaks throughout. Unfortunately my sleeping has been suffering after i quit smoking weed so i havent ran most of this week but now that my asthma will get better i hope ill be able to run more consistently once my sleep gets back to normal.
Dont be afraid to run slow! Going slower is very important to building up your aerobic base! I just started running this year and im up to 9 mile runs at a 9:30 pace. But I started out jogging at 11-12 minutes miles for like 3 months
"Run for time" is a great advice, but you don't actually have to run 10-15 min. at your first day. I have started running intentionally. While I was working outside, (just a few seconds - but everyday). I slowly adding 15-30 seconds more and right now I run for 10 months. Good luck for everybody who is starting - it is worth it!

As someone who has recently started running, I agree. To build the base fitness, I started out just speed-walking for 30 minutes, 4 times a week at an incline. Once I felt my lung capacity improve and my body became more efficient, I started running at 5 mph for 5 minutes at a time, splitting up my 30-minute speed walk. I've increased the amount I'm running compared to walking progressively and right now I walk for 5 minutes as a warm-up, then run 5.5 mph for about 15 minutes, and then run at 7 mph for about 5 minutes, or whatever makes me feel like I'm pushing it for a decent sprint. I'm really enjoying running because I can see myself improving and it's very encouraging.
Thank you, I have been looking for running tipps. And your tip is the best I found. Its 10pm in my country, but I will definitely start it tomorrow morning and try doing it from then on everyday.
When I started running in December 2022 I did run-walk 3x/week for 20mins, did that for about 6-8 months. Then increased to 30min runs, then did my first long run at 6k, increased my long run by 1k each week. Ran my first race this summer (hilly 10k in 1h03mins), now training for a half marathon. You got this! Run slower, staying consistent and enjoy running!
i had a shoulder injury pretty recently and i had to ditch my regular weightlifting routine, but since i had already paid my gym membership i decided I'd "run". i walked for an hour every day while watching a series during my first week (so you can tell i wasn't walking very fast), during my second week i started to walk faster and on the 4th day of the second week i started running. now I'm on my third week and I'm doing intervals, i also can tell I'm getting faster and my endurance is improving, so definitely consistency is key
I ran for years. Then i stopped for years. I still exercised but no running. I started back at age 54. My feet and achilles hurt a lot and i could only run a couple of hundred yards before being out of breath and have to walk. Now three months later i’m running 5 miles three times a week intervals, sprints and running uphill once a week. I also work in a 30 min kettlebell work out ( 35 pound kettlebell) with speed jump roping for 1 min intervals at the end three times a week. I’m not an expert but consistency was key for me. if you are very busy go run anyway. You hurt go run anyway. Raining, blisters, tired, not feeling it, discouraged go run anyway.
I've started running in the beginning of this year. I remember the time I bought my first pair of running shoes. It is powerful to call yourself, ı am a runner. ❤
I run but I’m a lifter and play rec sports. That said, my first race was a 10 miler. All my forms of exercise were a contribution to getting ready for a race.
Don't listen to this. If you're a beginner just walk fast on your first week for atleast 20-30 mins. Then the next week, you run for 20-30 seconds then walk for 1 min. Do that 4x. Then just adjust it and make it more difficult depending on you. Just make the process slow and easy. Or you'll injure yourself.
As a runner myself, this is good advice. I thought our 1-mile warm-up would be it on my first day of Cross practice. But, nope, had run a 3-mile repeat workout right after. Almost quit
I just recently started running again to get into shape for Air Force BMT and one thing I will say is definitely focus on your running form before going long distances
OMG! Future Army soldier here! I'm starting to run again for boot as well! So far, it's not super great but I have to just keep pushing and I know I don't have the time for a super slow build. Best of luck to you!
@@Kyle-jn3ro I’m submitting waivers right now and will hopefully be at MEPS early October and ship out in November as well! But we’ll have to see how things go!
I love running. It’s so good for my mental health. What is your advice in regards to sore calves. Is it possible to over stretch and massage? Or the more the better? I could run everyday if it wasn’t for sore calves.
i’ve already been running consistently for 20 minutes, sometimes i push it to 30 but then they gets a little challenging for me. my main goal is trying to run 20 minutes at a faster pace but i’m still relatively slow.
Building that base is undoubtedly HARD! It’s why people give up after like so many weeks. But once you hit that certain threshold (usually it’s like your 20th run or something?) your body goes “Okay but just 5 more minutes.” “Okay but just 1 more mile.” while actually looking forward to getting out and going for your next run during moments where you wanted to give up before.
Great video, I do think running on time is much less stress inducing than running for miles, slowly increase your time by the week and you’ll be doing 5ks in 25 minutes or less🔥
Yep! I'm 2 years in and I still separate Vo2 runs which I don't follow milage just time. And then my tempo work where I follow milage and not time. Then I occasionally throw in the "I'm gunna go run 6 miles in X amount of minutes".
thank you so much for these tips! im internally a really active person and experienced some high-intermediate physical training when i was in high school until i had a motorbike accident which then i have to limit my movement. its been around 7 years ago and i think i can be as active as i was before. i’ve been trying to swim regularly to train head pressure and now i wanna try your tips to train my head for withstanding constant shocks!
This is for any habit. I recently picked up stretching and for the first month I only did it for 5 minutes a day, eventually went up to 10 minutes a day in the 2nd month
How long do you lay the foundations? I have been running for a month, i dont think I'm loosing weight. I don't weight myself, ever. but I look the same. I do enjoy running, its not just to loose weight but I'm feeling a little pressure here.
I am a beginner. About 3 weeks in. I run intervals 3 times per week. 10 minutes run and 4 minutes walk. I try to keep my heart rate at about 155-160 which is roughly 85-90% of my target HR. On Sundays I run a continuous 5K at a nice easy pace. It takes me about 40-45 minutes. I am already noticing that I can push a little harder than when I started. I am training for my first 5K in October. I am hoping to break into the high 30 minutes mark at that time!
9 months now, I'm addicted to running and I feel so alive running

(I did kickboxing and weight training but still struggled running 10 minutes when I started, but that could have been poor pacing rather than anything else).
I am an active person I have been swimming for years now on nearly daily basis. I can walk for hours non stop I exercice as much as I can but I hated runing and just assumed it would be easy for me because I am active lol. I was so disappointed in myself when I could barely finish 6 minutes before feeling I couldn't breath lol. I started doubting everything i knew of myself.
@@leeknowe1598 I'm starting to run with my gf, she ran for like, 1.30mins and was like "I don't think I could ever run any longer distance at all". A month later she walk/ran 2.8km in 20mins. Nothing crazy, but a huge improvement in a very short time. Hang in there!
I did 13.6 miles in my first week of running. I ran 4 times 4k (best time: 20:18:9, 8:10 per mile per mile) and I did a one endurance run , 7k (41:23:10, pace : 9:31 per mile)I will run 10k race in 18 days. btw I am 14 , And my dream is do marathon, it will be years of grinding, so keep for me crossed fingers. I WILL NOT STOP.
Running really is so fun!!! I love it and can’t wait to get better
I can only run 5 mins at most and I need to take 2 breaks throughout. Unfortunately my sleeping has been suffering after i quit smoking weed so i havent ran most of this week but now that my asthma will get better i hope ill be able to run more consistently once my sleep gets back to normal.
You’ve inspired me to start running like three weeks in now thank u nicho u deserve way more subs
Dont be afraid to run slow! Going slower is very important to building up your aerobic base! I just started running this year and im up to 9 mile runs at a 9:30 pace. But I started out jogging at 11-12 minutes miles for like 3 months
First 3 days:
1-3 day - 5-10 minutes
4th day - 3rd week - 15-20 min.
"Run for time" is a great advice, but you don't actually have to run 10-15 min. at your first day. I have started running intentionally. While I was working outside, (just a few seconds - but everyday). I slowly adding 15-30 seconds more and right now I run for 10 months. Good luck for everybody who is starting - it is worth it!
Run for 10 months? impressive
@@charliethecairnterrierdamn you still running bro ? One more month to go until it’s been 10 months I’ll b waiting for your reply

Gradually increasing running time is a key to developing a running base!!!
straight and forward. This is how explaining is done 🙌💪💪🔥🔥
love the videos. after 2 months of running just hit my longest run of 5.2 miles! looking to do a half marathon in 6 months-year
As someone who has recently started running, I agree. To build the base fitness, I started out just speed-walking for 30 minutes, 4 times a week at an incline. Once I felt my lung capacity improve and my body became more efficient, I started running at 5 mph for 5 minutes at a time, splitting up my 30-minute speed walk. I've increased the amount I'm running compared to walking progressively and right now I walk for 5 minutes as a warm-up, then run 5.5 mph for about 15 minutes, and then run at 7 mph for about 5 minutes, or whatever makes me feel like I'm pushing it for a decent sprint. I'm really enjoying running because I can see myself improving and it's very encouraging.
That lightning on time was epic 🔥
Thank you, I have been looking for running tipps. And your tip is the best I found. Its 10pm in my country, but I will definitely start it tomorrow morning and try doing it from then on everyday.
When I started running in December 2022 I did run-walk 3x/week for 20mins, did that for about 6-8 months. Then increased to 30min runs, then did my first long run at 6k, increased my long run by 1k each week. Ran my first race this summer (hilly 10k in 1h03mins), now training for a half marathon. You got this! Run slower, staying consistent and enjoy running!
Consistency is key
That lightning shot was so clean
I started running thanks to your videos. Thank you for the tips. They've been quite useful.
That’s so awesome to hear! I’m so glad they have helped you!
This sounds so obtainable! Thanks for the advice
i had a shoulder injury pretty recently and i had to ditch my regular weightlifting routine, but since i had already paid my gym membership i decided I'd "run". i walked for an hour every day while watching a series during my first week (so you can tell i wasn't walking very fast), during my second week i started to walk faster and on the 4th day of the second week i started running. now I'm on my third week and I'm doing intervals, i also can tell I'm getting faster and my endurance is improving, so definitely consistency is key
I ran for years. Then i stopped for years. I still exercised but no running. I started back at age 54. My feet and achilles hurt a lot and i could only run a couple of hundred yards before being out of breath and have to walk. Now three months later i’m running 5 miles three times a week intervals, sprints and running uphill once a week. I also work in a 30 min kettlebell work out ( 35 pound kettlebell) with speed jump roping for 1 min intervals at the end three times a week. I’m not an expert but consistency was key for me. if you are very busy go run anyway. You hurt go run anyway. Raining, blisters, tired, not feeling it, discouraged go run anyway.
Love this, thank you!
Thank you Nico you really inspired me and now I started running
Now this is a lot better. Speed work on the first week is crazy
You’ve definitely inspired me!!
I've started running in the beginning of this year. I remember the time I bought my first pair of running shoes. It is powerful to call yourself, ı am a runner. ❤
Thanks for the tips.
I run but I’m a lifter and play rec sports. That said, my first race was a 10 miler. All my forms of exercise were a contribution to getting ready for a race.
Don't listen to this. If you're a beginner just walk fast on your first week for atleast 20-30 mins. Then the next week, you run for 20-30 seconds then walk for 1 min. Do that 4x. Then just adjust it and make it more difficult depending on you. Just make the process slow and easy. Or you'll injure yourself.
Yuuup this is excellent advice 👍
Cross training also helps a ton. Its hard to do zone two training when even your slowest pace has you at 180bpm.
Thanks!!! Conscise and helpful!!! ❤
The Run,jog,walk exercise in sets help as well.
Great Video G 🤙
I just start running and I cannot even do more than 1 minute and a half straight… I will push more!
How is your progress buddy?
Please share🙂🙂
Running for super short times is the game changer for me. Get a quick 10 min run in, do some Pilates or mobility with it and it’s awesome
Best advice anyone could receive
Great advice!!!!
Awesome! useful advice and cool short
THIS advice is the only advice new runners need. All the other stuff results in injuries.
Thanks mate. never too late
Thanks its really good
Great advise!
As a runner myself, this is good advice. I thought our 1-mile warm-up would be it on my first day of Cross practice. But, nope, had run a 3-mile repeat workout right after. Almost quit
I just recently started running again to get into shape for Air Force BMT and one thing I will say is definitely focus on your running form before going long distances
OMG! Future Army soldier here! I'm starting to run again for boot as well! So far, it's not super great but I have to just keep pushing and I know I don't have the time for a super slow build. Best of luck to you!
best of luck! i ship out in november so hopefully all goes well
@@Kyle-jn3ro I’m submitting waivers right now and will hopefully be at MEPS early October and ship out in November as well! But we’ll have to see how things go!
Even though this short was useful and educational, the reason I liked it so fast is because it wasn't AI narrated. What a time to be alive man
This is how I started. I just did it on my own and continue to do it.
I love running. It’s so good for my mental health. What is your advice in regards to sore calves. Is it possible to over stretch and massage? Or the more the better? I could run everyday if it wasn’t for sore calves.
i’ve already been running consistently for 20 minutes, sometimes i push it to 30 but then they gets a little challenging for me. my main goal is trying to run 20 minutes at a faster pace but i’m still relatively slow.
You inspired me to start running man
Going to try this!!
Great advice
Fantastic advice 🙌
Building that base is undoubtedly HARD! It’s why people give up after like so many weeks. But once you hit that certain threshold (usually it’s like your 20th run or something?) your body goes “Okay but just 5 more minutes.” “Okay but just 1 more mile.” while actually looking forward to getting out and going for your next run during moments where you wanted to give up before.
Great video, I do think running on time is much less stress inducing than running for miles, slowly increase your time by the week and you’ll be doing 5ks in 25 minutes or less🔥
Thanks! 💕 🏃♀️ 🏃♂️
Yep!
I'm 2 years in and I still separate Vo2 runs which I don't follow milage just time. And then my tempo work where I follow milage and not time.
Then I occasionally throw in the "I'm gunna go run 6 miles in X amount of minutes".
Do you live in Arizona, the place you were running in the second clip with the waterfall looks like it is close to Morrison ranch
thank you so much for these tips! im internally a really active person and experienced some high-intermediate physical training when i was in high school until i had a motorbike accident which then i have to limit my movement. its been around 7 years ago and i think i can be as active as i was before. i’ve been trying to swim regularly to train head pressure and now i wanna try your tips to train my head for withstanding constant shocks!
He built his base for sure. Damn.
This is for any habit. I recently picked up stretching and for the first month I only did it for 5 minutes a day, eventually went up to 10 minutes a day in the 2nd month
How long do you lay the foundations? I have been running for a month, i dont think I'm loosing weight. I don't weight myself, ever. but I look the same. I do enjoy running, its not just to loose weight but I'm feeling a little pressure here.
Thank you, tomorrow I will start.
Thanks for your tip)
I am a beginner. About 3 weeks in. I run intervals 3 times per week. 10 minutes run and 4 minutes walk. I try to keep my heart rate at about 155-160 which is roughly 85-90% of my target HR. On Sundays I run a continuous 5K at a nice easy pace. It takes me about 40-45 minutes.
I am already noticing that I can push a little harder than when I started. I am training for my first 5K in October. I am hoping to break into the high 30 minutes mark at that time!
I want to do this but I don’t have time, tryouts for soccer this week and I’ve been training this summer and I just got straight into the hard stuff
Its been 3 weeks sinse i started running and today a Ran 5 Km in 30 Minutes
But my leg hurts whenever i run
Can someone tell me what to do about it
The building a house idiom is one of my favorites
hi, which shoes do you use on the video and which one do you recommend for beginners? thanks
Yeah 🤙 I'm doing it 😃 I'm growing in running too!
Tip: don’t overstride (take too long strides) I think it’s the cause of my shin splints
U r on point. Siyabonga (meaning Thank You in Zulu)
Thank you lots for this!
