Beginner Runners Should Slowly Build Up Their Endurance

This is a post I have been wanting to create for a long time. It will become my go-to guide that I will share with friends, family and anyone else who wants to become a stronger, healthier and happier runner. 

It is awesome to see how many people around me are getting into running, both on roads and trails. There is a lot of excitement around running, however I also hear many beginner and advanced runners with negative running experiences “I can run for 5 minutes and then it feels like my heart is beating out of my chest” or “I used to run but my knees, shin splits, plantar fasciitis etc don’t allow me to run anymore“.

Many of the same challenges kept coming up for runners, so I decided to write these 10 points below that are applicable for runners of all levels. Hope you will find this helpful.
