Beginner Runner Village - a "how-to" running podcast for beginner runners
Summary: Coach Deb explains how to start running by gradually progressing from mostly walking to mostly running. Her program is geared specifically to people who have not yet begun to run, people who are currently very out of shape or overweight or older or who are just looking for a more gradual, less intense option that virtually guarantees success. Emphasis is on learning how to do it the right way without hurrying to get to that first 5k. After working with thousands of beginner runners, she has discovered secrets that she shares in her podcast, concepts that most beginners don't know because they are not intuitive. For example, Deb says don't run to exhaustion; you'll improve faster, build fitness faster and enjoy it more if you stop when you first start to feel fatigued. It's better to go farther by doing a less intense walk/run pattern. She'll teach you easy body weight exercises and balance exercises to reinforce good running form and prevent injury. You don't have to be an experienced runner to learn the tips and techniques that advanced runners know. Deb has found that when she enlightens new runners, when they learn a few key training principles, their success is assured.
