Best way to begin your journey as a runner
Running doesn’t need to feel intimidating. You don’t need a fancy watch or a race on the calendar. You just need a starting point and a tool that helps you build from there.
KULG is a smart running app built by runners for runners who are looking for structured, intelligent training. It supports new and experienced runners in achieving their dream goals. KULG helps you track your runs, reflect on how you feel, and understand your progress over time, analysing your runs and turning data into clear, actionable insights.
BEGINNER RUNNER’S GUIDE
Tips for beginner runners
Learn by doing, and discover patterns:
Go slower than the running speed you dream about. It’s the smartest way to start - you’ll run faster, sooner.
Walking counts too, as do short runs. Running doesn’t need to feel hard to count.
Recovery is part of progress. KULG guides you through the load and recovery process, giving you personal insights.
You don’t need to run too much to improve. You just need to keep showing up and find the joy in running.
Progress isn’t linear. KULG helps you see your long-term progress and move forward consistently.

Using this tool has given me a lot more clarity on my actual results and progress. Looking at data from different apps gives good information, but getting a holistic view of things can have a game-changing effect on your performance and quality of life in general.

It’s incredibly motivating to have an overview of my running progress over time. Even the runs that don’t go that well morph into something valuable when you zoom out and understand the progress you’ve made in mere months.

KULG offers a different perspective to running. I can see what I'm doing and how I'm progressing and everything is visible from the graphs for both me and my coach. Seeing my training history over the years, I was able to track down what I did differently when I was developing faster.

I use KULG for mainly two reasons. In addition to its great overview of running form progress (HR vs speed and feeling vs perceived effort), another reason I use KULG is that my coach has access to my training data and provides accurate feedback without me having to send him anything.

Using KULG gave me the confidence I needed before my last marathon, where I ran a personal best of 2:50. Seeing my progress clearly laid out in the graphs helped me trust my training and head to the start line feeling prepared. Highly recommend it!

I love the fact that you can see your running trends over longer periods of time: it is motivating and helps zoom in on areas you need to focus on (e.g. % of runs in lower HR zones, etc.). It also feels satisfying to actually put the run data into the table – it is simple and a sense of accomplishment. Notes about how you feel have been very useful as you review the past runs.

Start small and easy.
Set a simple goal
Don’t aim for perfection. Try something like “run for 10 minutes without stopping” or “go out three times this week.”Choose the right gear
Good running shoes are a must. The rest? Keep it simple. Comfortable clothes and a watch or phone to track time are enough.Start with run/walk intervals
Try 1 minute of running, 1–2 minutes of walking. Repeat 5–8 times. This builds stamina without overloading your body.Pick a realistic schedule
2–3 runs per week are a good place to start. This gives your body time to adapt and keeps your motivation high.Track your runs
Whether you use pen and paper or an app like KULG, tracking your progress helps you to see it, even when it’s not obvious yet.
