    TIPS FOR A BEGINNING RUNNER PROS?

    Do's and Don'ts? Nutrition? Eat before, after?...

    I want to start this week and see how things feel in 7 days.

    • start on a treadmill. stretch, warm up fast walk or on bike in a gym. eating i guess would depend when you work out.yurimon
    • dont over due and gauge your progress. some treadmills will read your heartbeat which is useful to makes sure you dont over do it.yurimon
    • make sure you have the right shoes for your foot arch. you want a better arch if you are more flatfoot. practice a good stride. not too jumpy makesure your formyurimon
    • is good.yurimon
    • No treadmill.bklyndroobeki
    • gym. im telling you because running on concrete is pretty harsh. best surface environment i ever ran on was astro turn. even running track i found was too bouncyurimon
    • for the knees. running on real grass however too uneven.yurimon
    • Did yurimon just suggest running on a treadmill or a bike in a gym? HAHAHAHA. There's a whole world out there...

    • I imagined you'd find running in a treadmill or riding a bike that doesn't go anywhere, while watching TV, as ridiculous as I do.

    • to start. concrete running is really bad broh.
      astro turf is the best so far.

    • I didn't dispute that. Concrete is undoubtedly bad to run on.

    • I've done the treadmill before. While they are great I sometimes feel like I'm a hampster. Nothing like a 6a run on a park path.bklyndroobeki
    • Ride a bike instead?section_014
