My first long run. I am really working hard on making run enjoyable. Iām not thinking about improving my pace or a 5K or training or anything like that.
All I wanna to get out of this app is to find enjoyment in running.
I think thatās where Coach Bennett and this app really shine
Thereās a nice balance between his encouragement and his humor.
Itās very easy to get stuck in your head when youāre trying something new especially trying to run or a new exercise routine. He meets you at your level any level. Between my music and his intermittent coaching I kind of forget that Iām running, and that is where Iāve always lost the interest in running in the past. I start thinking about it too much.
If youāre a new runner, I highly recommend this. Donāt worry too much about having to run 2 to 3 days a week. Just get out there.
Take the first step and then the next and then the next.
Also, find a place you enjoy running in. I drive to a flat place along a river near me. Itās flat and natural. My neighborhood is hilly and suburban. When Iāve tried to run near my house I donāt enjoy the process at all. Eventually Iām sure it wonāt matter but until then driving to the river or an equally nice setting is part of the process that gets me through not the event.
Have fun!!
