Tips for Running,_+

[Gab]

Im not fat I just dont do sports.

Just make sure you have good running shoes, eat well before you go running and you should be fine

Also, don't run for too long since you're new to running, run as long as you can, and try to run the same distance the next day a little bit faster, and then run a longer distance.

If you run for a long while without stopping on a decent to slow pace, you will lose muscles, and fat. Idk what you're looking for though..

Stretch first too.

It's better to run at a pace that you can maintain then to run fast and then stop and then run fast again

That is not true whatsoever. It has been proven through medical study that short term sprints increase endurance and speed in a much larger margin than in long distance runs.
@Ecstasy you need to do a light leg warmup, then stretch, then go for your run. Jump rope for five to ten minutes, then stretch, then run. Anything light to warmup your legs before the stretch. It is never good to stretch a cold muscle.

Should you land on a flat foot and then push on the ball of your foot to and repeat for long distance runs? What is the center of gravity or w/e and how do you find our what yours is?

I'd have thought landing on the heal and pushing forward to the ball would be the best way? Feels more natural to me anyway

I thought that that will create a shock?

You should never land flat. By doing so you're giving your ankle consistent shock-impact pressure and will eventually hurt yourself. You should always run on the ball of your feet, the pad that's right behind the toes to give extra support to the ankle.

Isn't that for sprinting? I heard it wasn't for long-distance running.

It's the same for long distance as well. Every time you leap when doing any type of run your entire body weight is impacting your individual feet, which will still damage the ankle. The reason why you can roll your feet heel to toe when walking is because your bodyweight is being supported by the rolling motion without impact. Don't want to risk any future Achilles problems, it's not pretty.

after running run a nice bath, and use bath salts... Thats what i do.
