Hi---
I'm brainstorming different kinds of aerobic exercise that I can do to continue to challenge myself and hopefully delay a plateau as long as I can And running seems to be one way, since like walking, it really doesn't cost anything in terms of machine equipment
I have three questions in regards to becoming a runner:
1. How did you start running? (i.e. as in like only thirty seconds the first week, then a minute, then 2 minutes.... etc).
2. How did you avoid injuries when starting out?
3. why do some people on this forum say you should only run every other day (i.e. a full workout say anywhere from thirty to forty-five minutes) and others run six miles five days a week?
I'm interested in becoming a runner (granted in small steps first!) but I see comments where people say you shouldn't run every day (since it's a high impact form of exercise) to those who say they run 5-6 days a week.
who is right?
*confused*
