    Running has been shown to improve our cardiovascular health while toning and strengthening our muscles. Surely more than once you have wondered how to start running to take advantage of all its benefits. Do not despair! We have prepared for you a complete training plan for beginners, with the aim that you can maintain a continuous run of at least 30 minutes in a row. Shall we start?

    How to start running: Step by step

    The first thing is to get good running equipment. Get yourself some good running shoes that adapt to your footprint, comfortable clothes, and a heart rate monitor to measure your heart rate. With these plugins, you will be ready to start running without any problem.

    The next step is to always follow a good warm-up. To do this, it is important to perform a series of stretches for the ankles, calves, quadriceps, knees, hips, buttocks, back, torso, and shoulders. This kind of exercise should not only be done before running but also after finishing your training. Thanks to them, you will increase the flexibility of your joints, thus avoiding bad postures and unwanted injuries. This heating should last about 10 minutes.

    Now yes, with your equipment ready and your muscles ready, you are ready to execute our training plan that will teach you how to start running properly.
