Three essential things about running

shot on 09 Jan 2026 Three things that I realised about running as a beginner who has been running for about 3-4 months : 1) Volume : Run as much as you can, don't worry about the pace and timings in the beginning. The more mileage you have, the more aerobic base you build, eventually improving your overall endurance. 2) Leg Strengthening : Peterson step downs, hack squats, lunges, RDLs, weight training is essential for increasing leg strength and preventing the chance of injury. 3) Pushing yourself slightly, daily : Go over your limit, slightly everyday. Remember the graph from atomic habits of getting 1% better everyday. Pushing yourself slightly everytime would compound in a better way instead of abrupt increase in efforts. Drop in any other things that can be helpful. Thanks.❤️
