Back once again for everything you wanted to know about running but were afraid to ask.
Rules of the Road:
This is inspired by eric_twinge’s fine work in r/fitness.
Upvote either good or stupid questions. Sort questions by new so that they get some love.
To the more experienced runnitors, if something is a good question or answer, add it to the FAQ.
Post your question – stupid or otherwise – here to get an answer – stupid or otherwise. Anyone can post a question and the community as a whole is invited and encouraged to provide an answer. Many questions get submitted late each week that don’t get a lot of action, so if your question didn’t get answered, feel free to post it again.
As always, be sure to read the FAQ first. Also, there’s a handy-dandy search bar to your right, and if you didn’t know, you can also use Google to search runnit by using the limiter “site:reddit.com r/running”.
Be sure to check back often as questions get posted throughout the day. Sort comments by “new” to be sure the newer questions get some love as well.
[Posting on behalf of /u/Percinho who is busy trying on his new tri suit that he got on Black Friday sale]
I don’t like training plan, especially the ones for 4 months when you are new to the distance, it’s always too tight in timing and hard on the body.
Try to keep consistent, learn to enjoy those medium runs at low intensity, focus on the cardio. When it’s effortless, you will see how fast it is to add easy mileage.
