What is the appropriate running pace?

The ancients often said that life lies in movement. Every time you exercise, it does not require you to walk a certain distance or a certain speed, but you must persist in exercising every day. Try to take a slow walk or jog before or after meals. Do not exercise one hour before or after meals. This will make your body healthier and show the advantages of exercise.

The key points of jogging

It’s easy for novice runners to run carefree because they have plenty of energy at the beginning.

In fact, this is wrong. When running, you must be aware of this: never let yourself get tired, and run with ease.

If you feel shortness of breath while running, it means you are running too fast.

The key to jogging is not how fast you run, but how comfortable you feel.

"Jogging is not about "distance", but about "time""

For many novice runners, a common mistake is always wanting to run faster than last time. You want to cover the same distance in a shorter time, or you want to cover a longer distance in the same amount of time.

In fact, how far you run is not important; what is important is how long you run. When jogging, please take time as the standard. If you must add a deadline, please aim for 30-60 minutes.

「Jogging paces of different runners」

If there must be a standard for jogging, what would it be? Let's look at the next word: pace. To put it simply, pace is the time required to run 1 kilometer.

For example: if you run 1 kilometer in 5 minutes, then your pace is 5m (5 minutes).

So, what pace is best for you when running?

If you are a novice in running, then your jogging pace should be slower (6 minutes 30 seconds to 7 minutes 30 seconds, you will feel tired if you run faster); if you have run a marathon or 5 kilometers and are good at it, then your jogging pace can be a little faster. Also, the better your performance, the faster your jogging pace can be. After all, the higher your strength, the slower you run, the less you feel and the less effective you are. Why can't you run faster without getting tired?

However, many times, many runners run too fast. Then you need to adjust your running speed.

Some runners say, "I've never run a marathon or a 5km run, so I don't know my results. How do I know what the suitable pace is for me?" Suerjun will introduce a simple jogging method to everyone.

Introducing a jogging method

At the beginning, you can walk fast and then slowly speed up. When you feel that you can't walk faster, you can run at this speed. At the same speed, running is easier than walking, and this is your jogging speed.

After talking about the pace issue, you can slowly adjust your rhythm while running. Starting today, enjoy running and let running bring you a healthy body.
