When trying to start or maintain a running routine there are a few thing to keep in mind. Check out THIS article from WebMD for additional suggestions on how to get started running.
First is ensuring you are physically fit enough to engage in the more vigorous activity. It starts with physically being able to do the actual jog/run - your heart, lungs, joints (hip, knee, ankle)
Next, it's about learning how to do it - the mechanics of how to carry your body, strike your foot, and breathe.
Third, it's about finding a good plan that balances the amount of running you do with the amount of rest your body needs. Pushing yourself, either by going to fast or too far or too often during a week, can result in an overuse injury and sideline you for weeks, months, or even years. Finding a good training plan is key - there are many good ones online and can all be amended to fit your fitness level and goals.
Lastly, it's about sticking with it. That's where THIS article comes in. Find tips and tricks to get and to stay motivated!
