Starting a Running Program? Here is Some Sound Advice, Sort Of.

Source: NY Times

I took yesterday off and plan to be back in the swing of things soon.


I came across this interesting article in the NY Times on running. Despite its popularity, there is little sound evidence to best guide a beginner on taking up and sticking with a running program. About half of beginners will end up quitting regardless.


As common sense would suggest, it is likely best to start low and go slow. This is about the only advice that I am comfortable giving my patients when it comes to starting any exercise regimen.


.....off for my morning jog now.
