Running help

I’ve just started running. I run until I can’t and walk until I feel I can survive another go lol

Any other runners? How did you start? Will persistence improve my running time? Have you any tips for beginners?

I am running for weight loss!

Persistence is definitely the key and yes your endurance will increase slowly. I tested my endurance weekly by doing 1 specific challenge because constant run walk job sprints didn’t really measure the progress because it takes times ... 5 seconds time is a success. Anyway I found some steps under a bridge near mind there were 4 flights of x many steps and I ran up and down 10 times timing it, I repeated weekly and my target was 5 minutes, I did it slowly but I loved even 2 seconds slower. A challenge keeps me motivated and determined.

I did 5k mostly but got bored so I started doing sprints and I much prefer them. I have a route where first half no markers so I jog lightly to the coastal path then I sprint die walk then I get to a part on the coastal path where it has printed markers on footpaths (walking person icon) and I spring to 1 walk to next repeat then when more energetic I sprint 2 walk 1 OR to be honest mix it up as I feel, I find some days I’m more sluggish and don’t give myself a hard time.

Do your pace listen to your body. Last time I did really well at the frequency of running I lost a lot of weight, I find now I don’t have the same time to dedicate its slower so I’m convinced it helps. I also do strength training.

Thanks Wobbles!

Thanks for sharing your experience, I love the challenge idea, I wonder if I can find something like that. Are you still doing it? Sounds like a last thing but I see you are trying to motivate yourself again?

There are many types of Running that we have to need
Base runs: What the general public might call an everyday run. they are short-to-slight, running around 6 miles (10 km), and finished at your herbal pace.
Long runs: Longer versions of base runs are performed at the identical pace however over a greater distance of around 10–12 miles (15–20 km). They assist improve your usual health and endurance.
Interval runs: quick, severe runs repeated numerous instances with short breaks in among. as an instance, 5 x 0.5-mile runs with 1/four mile (400 meters) mild walking between intervals. these runs train your walking power and velocity.
Hill repeats: just like interval runs but completed uphill. as an instance, 10 x 1-minute hill repeats. They train your strolling electricity and pace whilst improving stamina.
Healing runs slow runs completed after greater hard runs like hill repeats to feature extra distance in your universal run. for an instance, a four-minute run at an at-ease tempo after a more difficult run.
Development runs those mimic opposition-style runs by way of starting slow and completing at a faster pace. They build endurance, and pace and decrease fatigue. as an example, five miles (eight km) at a natural tempo, then 1 mile (1.5 km) at a fast tempo.
