What is the ideal distance for a beginner runner?

 

Thank you.

 

start with a 30 minute run (or run walk) every other day for 2 weeks

[artint3]

10k 7mins per km ung pace mo

 

actually medyo mabilis na to. sa Milo ang cut-off ng 10KM is 90 minutes. Kahit na 8mins per km ang pace mo, aabot ka pa rin sa cut-off.

 

I believe wala naman talagang ideal pace sa mga beginner. Kung anong kaya ng katawan mo. Always listen to your body.

Thank you for the suggestions.

I just started running. Started with 1-hour non-stop run, jog, and brisk walking. I can't walk the day after because of the pain in my legs.

Any advice how to increase stamina?

Any advice how to increase stamina?

Rule of thumb is to build up slowly. Increase distance by 10% at a time. Even if you feel you can run longer, rest and recover. Let your body adapt slowly. Yung biglaang taas ng distance kadalasan nagiging source ng injury.

sundutan mo lang ulit sir. parang 1st time lang yan sa gym, mananakit talaga katawan. Pero kapag nasanay na, wala na yan. Make sure na may stretching before & after ng run

7 Bad Habits Runners have to Break

Magbago na tayo, bes. Be a smarter, healthier runner this year (and beyond!) by breaking these habits that hinder you from being the best you can be.

#1 Not getting enough sleep.

You have a scheduled race/long run on a Saturday morning and you still party on a Friday night. Lack of sleep can affect your mental focus, immune system, and recovery time. Your performance will ultimately be compromised.

#2 Running too much, too soon.

If you just came from an injury or are a newbie runner thinking about running a half marathon (!) anytime soon, perhaps you should consider taking it easy. Give yourself time to get into the groove of things. Races will always be there.

#3 Not getting the proper nutrition.

Many runners reward themselves after a run with a big, unhealthy meals. Maximize the benefits of your workout by eating smart.

#4 Taking skin care for granted.

Whether it’s just for 20 minutes or a grueling 4 hours, better apply sunblock before heading out for a run. Being a bad-ass runner means your skin looks healthy and radiant, too.

#5 Ignoring pain or discomfort until it’s too late.

A lot of runners ignore aches and pains or self-medicate, not realizing that it could lead to something serious. If the discomfort lingers for three days or more, it’s best to consult a doctor.

#6 Not pacing.

Don’t be gigil to finish a race only to lose steam towards the end because you didn’t run according to your pace. Stick to your race plan; patience and consistency are important for a strong race finish.

#7 Skipping stretching after a run.

Stretching loosens muscles post-run and helps prevent injury.

So, what bad habits are you breaking this year?

Noted, sir. And thanks! Tama ka nawala nga yung pain. I'm doing it weekly na. Siguro time to level up and do it twice a week naman.

Virtual race? How?

Virtual race? How?

You sign up with them and pay the registration fee, then you run on your own to complete the distance you signed up for within the allotted time (say run 50km in a week, or 200km within the month of November), You then send them your data to confirm you've completed the distance, and they'll send you the medal/shirt/reward that was promised.
