Overweight Running Tips

As a result, here are 4 beginner tips for overweight runners

Beginner Running Tip 1: Believe In Yourself
Running for overweight people is no easy task. Usually being overweight means being out-of-shape. Nevertheless, believing in your latent capabilities can make miracles happen. See, beliefs are like commands to you mind. Therefore, if you believe that you can’t become a true runner and make the cut, then the chances of attaining your outcomes are pretty slim.
As a result, you should build a strong belief in yourself and what you’re capable of achieving. One way you can do this is by visualizing success every step of the way. Visualization techniques are proven to enhance motivation and performance in all areas of life. So why not use them with your running program.

Beginner Running Tip 2: Build Up Gradually
Most beginner runners make the mistake of doing too much too soon. This is a big blunder and can lead to a myriad of injuries and health problems. Expect burnout and disappointment if you opt for this approach. Of course, you may be excited about your new endeavor and want to take it to the next level, but you may not be able to run at all at first, especially if you’ve been out-of-shape for a long time.
As a result, a better approach is start slowly and build the intensity up gradually. For instance, on week No. 1, you walk only for 25 minutes 3 to 5 times a week; no running here yet. On week No. 2, you alternate between 30 seconds of running and 1 minute or more of walking. And as the training progresses forward, you add more running time and shorten up the walking boots until you can run straight for 30 minutes without much huffing and puffing.
