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.

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.
