Beginner’s Struggles!

Everyone talks about the beginner’s luck. Here, I don’t have a story on luck but struggles. I am more of a walk – kind person rather than a run kind. Tho, I don’t run daily, trying all the way. I can manage 2k these days. Walking maybe 5 to 7km without breaks is comfortable.

#Assuming running is easy

It is not. People will say. Ignoring all these boring leg drills will cost you down the line.

#Hydration and Electrolytes

Hydrating yourself matters more than sweats. Balancing your electrolytes are non negotiable. Just lemon, salt and water will do more wonders.

#Not all runs are the same

Running on road, tracks, grass and hills are completely different. With hills, I am not talking about the elevation alone. The cold winds, homeostasis under stress, nostrils and resistance.

#Shoes – Thank God, I din make that.

Let’s see if I can do 5 km before the year ends. No, I have quit trying on weights. Consistency matters more than intensity !!

Cheers!

PS: Still pivoting :P
