About to go on your first run? Get ready to discover a sport that frees your mind, pushes your limits, and transforms your fitness levels.<\/span><\/p>\n The beauty of running is that it doesn\u2019t require too much equipment or a complicated set-up, but nailing down the basics is important.<\/span><\/p>\n Running expert Sascha Wingenfeld<\/span> has some useful tips for getting started as a runner, <\/span>including how long you should run and how to choose the right clothing.<\/span><\/p>\n For your first run<\/span>, it\u2019s vital to start off with a realistic duration goal and a reasonable intensity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If your expectations are set too high, you\u2019ll have a really hard time<\/span> motivating yourself<\/span> for further running workouts in the future. \u201cYou can always up your pace or increase the duration later on,\u201d Sascha explains.<\/span><\/p>\n So, how long should your first run be?<\/span> \u201cAn ideal, and not too overwhelming, duration for a first run is about 30 minutes in total,\u201d explains Sascha. \u201cThis also includes the time necessary for a<\/span> proper warm-up<\/span>.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This ensures your muscles are ready for the run session. \u201cMake sure you run slowly \u2013 too slow rather than too fast,\u201d <\/span>says Sascha<\/span>. When you first start running, it\u2019s hard to assess your running speed. We usually tend to start off too fast. After a few runs, your body will get a feeling for the right pace and speed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Be sure to track your runs with the <\/span>adidas Running app<\/span> so you can get an idea of what your <\/span>pace <\/span>is and if you should go slower or can go faster next time.<\/span><\/p>\n Doing intervals for your first runs has proven successful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cYou can alternate between running and walking periods. This helps you control the overall strain on your body and prevents you from overdoing it,\u201d says Sascha.<\/span><\/p>\n The adidas Running app has training plans for runners of all levels.
