This is probably the most important of all the running questions below because if you’re just starting out, you need to do so slowly. The last thing you want to do is to get injured by starting too fast from something your body isn’t used to. Running can be high impact on the lower half of your body. We recommend a walk/run training program 3 days a week where you alternate between running slowly and walking. Depending on your current activity level you can also include optional cross training for a day or two. But please make sure you rest at least one full day per week at minimum to give your body the time it needs to recuperate.
