Start running without getting hurt
-
Start with run-walk intervals.
One minute running, two walking, repeated eight times. Fitness arrives faster than tendons adapt; the walks protect the tendons.
-
Add ten percent a week, no more.
Volume, not speed, is what injures beginners. The ten percent rule is boring and it works.
-
Run slow enough to talk.
Full sentences, not gasps. Easy pace builds the base; speed comes later for free.
-
Land under your body.
Short quick steps, roughly 170 per minute. Overstriding is the mother of shin splints.
-
Rest days are training days.
The adaptation happens between runs. Three runs a week beats six for the first year.

#1 becomes the Core. This atoma is young: submit a better distillation and take the seat.
No gear needed. Your pot, a timer and ice are enough. That is the point.
