RUNNING
You don't need to become a runner.
Let's just see if you like running.
OK, I WANT TO TRY
BEFORE YOU BUY ANYTHING
Don't buy running gear yet. First, find out whether you actually like running.
YOU NEED
✓ Comfortable clothes you can move in
✓ Shoes suitable for running or a similar sports activity
✓ Your shoes firmly tied
✓ A little bit of time
YOU DON'T NEED YET
✕ A running watch
✕ A running vest
✕ Expensive running clothes
✕ Special running socks
✕ €200 running shoes
Already have a hoodie or vest with pockets? Great. Use that instead of buying a running vest. And yes, your socks with little flowers can absolutely be running socks.
Try first.
Buy later.
YOUR FIRST TRY
JUST GO RUNNING
WARM UP
Take a few minutes to warm up before you start. You're trying running — not trying to make tomorrow miserable.
START EASY
Don't worry about pace or distance. Run slowly. Walk if you need to. Run again if you feel like it.
STOP WHEN YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH
Your first run doesn't have to prove anything. Five minutes counts. Twenty minutes counts. Running and walking counts.
COOL DOWN
Walk for a few minutes and give yourself some time to cool down. Gentle stretching can feel good afterwards.
SO... HOW WAS IT?
THE VERDICT
You tried it.
That's the whole point.
