How to start running? Here are 7 things to consider for getting started or getting back to running after a break:


1. Pace
2. Distance
3. Terrain
4. Equipment
5. Technique
6. Motivation and building up a routine
7. Recovery

You can get back to running at any time after a break or take it up as a completely new form of exercise! Training might be paused for various reasons, such as different health problems or just because you had a laid-back summer vacation. Some people also put running on hold during winter when the weather conditions are more challenging. Whether you’re a beginner or taking a new start after a break, it’s good to take a few things into account to make your first steps as smooth as possible.
