YOU TOO CAN RUN!

Everyone is an athlete; Some of us are training,

some of us are not!

Welcome to the starting Line!

Hardest step for a beginner is the one out of the door! You Seem to have already taken that!

• Yes we are!

• Running is for everyone….

• All runners are not seeking Olympic gold

Are we born to run ?

For every runner who tours the world running marathons, there are thousands who run to hear the leaves and listen to the rain! And that’s where we beginners belong!

• Start by doing what is necessary;

• Then do what’s possible

• And suddenly you are doing the impossible!!!

How did I start running?

DO NOT

• get intimidated by other runners• bother how u look while running • hesitate to walk• get caught in the jargon! (The Pace,

The Time, The VO2max and suchlike!) • Do not fuss over the shoes and

accessories • Do not overdo

Make a beginning

A journey of thousand steps ……

• Find a partner/buddy, start slow

• Pace is not important, continuous movement is

• 20 min of moving time 3 times a week is good enough to get you on the path

REMEMBER! Any exercise you do is better than the

exercise that you don’t do!

• Get a decent pair of shoes

• Pay attention to your form

• Do not ignore pain

• 3 R – Rehydrate, Refuel, Rest
