Don't forget to leave your top tip in the comments section, so others can read :)

My top tip: Don't look directly into his eyes
-
I run long distances. My tips are make sure you go to the toilet before leaving and never compare yourself to other people. You are only trying to improve your own levels.👍
-
1. warm up 2. correct shoe sizing 3. slow not fast - do not run too quickly 4. record your runs 5. correct clothing
-
Visit the toilet before heading out.

Tell yourself that you’re not tired and you will feel less tired. It may sound weird, but it works!

Those eyes stare straight into my soul

Don’t just run, strength train too. Once I started adding strength into my routine my back pain went away and my running got better. Also unless you’re trying to win races, forget trying to max out on speed. I started running slower and trying to stay in my fat burn zone when running. It’s all made a huge difference for me

6. Breathing technique 7. Running posture These two additional tips really put a significant results when you're doing it right. Thank you for your tips sir and I find it very useful to those are embarking in running as one of the exercises.

Don’t run too much too soon. Running gains come quickly in the beginning, and so will injury if you’re not careful! #bekindbehappyrunwell

I wish I only knew one thing - the importance of building proper leg and core strength before actually trying to run. Unfortunately nobody talks about this, but to me it was a game changer, especially since I am in my 50s and lost a lot of strengths through decades of office lifestyle. Trying to run on weak legs was never satisfying, but after I spent several month building strength in muscles and joints instead of actually running, running now feels almost like flying.

It's okay to blink brother.

I just started so I speed walk and than run for 1min. I do 5miles that not a lot for some but I’m overweight and I’m proud I’m able to do 5miles
-
My own issue, Pride! Don’t worry if you have to walk to keep your HR down.
-
For beginner, I recommend to incorporate this two type of runs Session 1) just start with 2km. The aim here is to be able to run without stopping. Session 2) long run. Start with 5-6km. Do a run/walk strategy. The goal here is to be able to finish the distance Good luck!
-
My top tip: just enjoy it! It sounds a bit cliche but since I started focusing more on this and less on my stats my mental well being had improved massively.
-
After you got started with running with your first pair of shoes, get a second pair of shoes from a different manufacturer. Always have at least two pairs of shoes from different brands. Wear them alternating. This distributes and thus lessens stress on your body. Clothing: If you go out and feel just a little bit cold you are dressed appropriate. GoreTex Wind Stopper shirts where a game changer for me. Phenomenal in temperature regulation. Especially I don't get cold when I am quite sweaty at the end of a run.
-
Good tips, my main is too have patience, running is a very long game, and that's perhaps one of the best things about it.
-
Previous year i started running in the lockdown. I ran 5k in 30 min. This week i ran for the first time 5k in 20 min. Im proud of myself that I hit a record like that. Running is easy so don’t make it too hard💪🏻

Thank you for this video. I recently started running. I've run before back in 2016, I had got up to running 4.5miles. Then I was diagnosed with Cancer, finished treatment, gained weight, still have residual minor issues. So i decided to start from scratch. I'm older and a little worn. So I want to approach this time starting with good habits, form and such. I'm having the hardest time finding the right shoe. I'm slow as a turtle but am enjoy the adventure.
