Top tips for running
- If you find running difficult, try power-walking instead. If you can still hold a conversation easily, pick up the pace. When you feel comfortable, switch to a gentle jog.
- Invest in a decent pair of running shoes and change your route regularly. The more scenic the route is, the more likely you are to enjoy it.
- If you're lucky enough to live near a beach, running on sand will help you burn a few extra calories.
Make running work for you
- Don't overdo it! If you are working too hard or are in pain, running won't be fun.
- Download your favourite upbeat tunes to keep you motivated.
