πββοΈ Starting to run is a New Year's resolution for many, but it can certainly be a challenge. Use our complete walk-to-run guide to build up safely and steadily.
If you have just decided to take up running, I first want to congratulate you and welcome you to the club! Maybe Iβm a bit biased, but there is nothing better than crossing that 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, or even ultramarathon finish line. You are going to love it.
But, it can be a confusing world, and you can avoid making these beginner mistakes.
Meet KICKR RUN, a revolutionary rethink of the traditional treadmill that brings cutting-edge technology to your run experience, to minimize distraction and maximize the realism of running indoors. β
Run Free βThe immersive RunFree mode allows you to run naturally - the treadmill adjusts to match your pace without interaction. With a maximum speed of 4:00/mile, sprints, intervals and tempo runs just got even better. β βRun Simply βKICKR RUN minimizes the need to interact with the treadmill during your workout, freeing you to focus on your pace, your form and the natural joy of running. β βRun Connected βKICKR RUN is a smart treadmill designed to seamlessly connect to training experiences and devices that will help you get the most from your indoor workouts β Compatible with leading apps such as Wahoo, Zwift, Kinomap, Humango, Peloton, KICKR RUN delivers a connected running experience with metrics that matter: ground contact time, vertical oscillation, cadence.
Former head coach of Athletics Canada and British Athletics Olympic and Paralympic programs, Peter Eriksson, has started an online petition accusing World Athletics (WA), the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), and the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) of failing at its duties, in protest of Ruth Chepngetichβs world record of 2:09:56 from the 2024 Chicago Marathon.
The moment when your fresh box of brand new running shoes arrives is always an exciting one.
Itβs likely youβll be tempted to slip them on immediately and go straight out for a run. Hold your horses, thoughβ¦ if you take the time to break them in first, youβll thank yourself later. β Breaking in you shoes can help you avoid injuries and ensure that you're comfortable and confident when out running, and here's how to do it right.
For beginner runners, a walk/jog/run training program is a great way to decrease the risk of running injuries and not feel overwhelmed by allowing walk intervals within your running routine.
Our run-walk program for beginning runners includes workouts with reps of run intervals and walk intervals so you can adapt gradually to running.
