So most of us are wondering what the run actually mesures right?
It is to test your cardiovascular endurance or normally known as aerobic fitness.
The important body part that you need to shape up:
You'll need a strong set of heart and lungs. This is where your legs come in handy. Initially, you might get tired in a short period of time, but they're really quite a trainable pair.
How to Train?
1. Short distance Runs
Decide on a short distance, or a short duration, for instance, 14minutes. Try running at a comfortable pace, one at which you can still enjoy the surroundings and not get tired quickly.2. Knee Lifts
3. Hill Intervals
They are actually challenging! It sure will take you to new heights in your running programme! Find a gentle hill. Sprint up the hill and recover by walking or slow jog back down the hill.After you've finished your run, cool down and stretch your body thoroughly. This is to minimise the tightness in the body parts that you've trained.
Finally, make a commitment to train at least 3 times per week, with at least one day break. The muscles in your body deserves a rest after working out the previous day. A stop-watch and mp3 player will be useful for each run.
That is all. Have a nice day! Enjoy your Run! :)
