OGGING TIPS FOR BEGINNERS
Are you a new runner? Have you decided to start running to improve your fitness? Before lacing up your shoes, check out these 8 extremely useful running tips for beginners from running expert Sascha Wingenfeld.
1. START WITH SHORT RUNNING INTERVALS
Are you super-excited to start your running training? As a new runner, you shouldn’t plan on running the entire distance in one go. “Break it down into intervals and try to keep them short at the beginning. Don’t be ashamed to walk between the intervals so you can recover a little,” recommends Sascha Wingenfeld. After some time, you can start lengthening the running sections and reducing the walking: begin by alternating between 2 minutes of jogging and 2 minutes of walking. Increase your running intervals by one minute per workout until you can run the entire distance at a stretch without having to walk.
Expert tip:
Run the first few sessions naturally and without any expectations. Otherwise, you’re likely to lose your motivation. Read more about at timesunion.com.
2. DON’T START OUT RUNNING TOO FAST
Your body has to get used to the new stresses and strains of running. Many beginner runners start out jogging too fast and pay the price for this mistake within just a few minutes. Frustration, overexertion, pain or even injuries are just some of the consequences. Therefore, start running at a moderate pace (i.e. where you can easily hold a conversation). “Even when you feel like cutting loose, you should maintain the same pace for the entire distance. Only those who give their body time to gradually get used to the new demands will have long-term success.”
3. YOUR BODY NEEDS TIME TO RECOVER
Your first run went well and you want to head out again right away? Great! 
But you should wait a day before attempting the next workout: your body needs to rest so it can recover from the first running session. “It must adapt to the new demands on the cardiovascular system and prepare your muscles and bones for the next run,” says Sascha. Schedule your training so you run one day and rest the next. This simple training plan can help beginner runners achieve the greatest training effect and avoid overuse injuries.
4. RUN EASY AND TAKE SHORT STEPS
Running is a technically challenging sport. Many beginners don’t have the proper technique and make jogging harder than it has to be by wasting a lot of energy. Your body develops the coordination necessary to perform the complex sequence of movements with every kilometer or mile that you run. “Try to run relaxed and in good form. Short, easy steps are more effective than long, powerful strides that act as a brake, slowing your forward momentum with every footfall.”
5. CHOOSE THE RIGHT SURFACE
Many running beginners wonder what kind of surface they should be running on. “That depends on the particular workout.” As is often the case, a mix of different surfaces is the right choice:
- Running on asphalt pavement is ideal for fast running – there is very little danger of turning your ankle. “However, it’s hard on your joints because the pavement does not cushion your steps,” explains Sascha Wingenfeld. “Therefore, running on this surface is only for very light runners with good form.”
- A forest or park floor is soft and provides excellent cushioning. However, the risk of injury increases due to roots, rocks and bumps.
- A sandy surface trains your muscles and makes you lift your feet. But be careful because it’s easy to overwork your calf muscles.
- Tartan (an all-weather synthetic track surface) is springy. One drawback: it puts a lot of stress on your Achilles tendon.
- The treadmill allows you to train year round with good cushioning. “However, this type of running training requires you to alter your form because the belt moves beneath your feet.”

“我至今认为是摄影让自己的文字写作能力和语言表达能力退化至令人发指的地步。拍一张照片绝不会比写100个字来得费劲，但我绝对珍惜每一次按下的快门和自己发掘的本能。画面所呈现的似是而非的概念可以更好的把自己隐藏在取景框之后而不必过度的去阐释，我相信这就是我内心的东西，不是全部。曾经热衷于新闻纪实摄影直到最后发现它只是填补了我性格缺失的那部分才会对我有如此吸引力。如果有机会我依然义无反顾。欣赏的摄影师Robert Frank、杉本博司、侯登科、赵铁林。(P.S前三张为厦门随记，后三张拍摄于上海世博会与广州亚运会)”
