TRAINING PROGRAM FOR FIRST TIME RUNNERS …
TRAINING PROGRAM FOR FIRST TIME RUNNERS-
The aim of the first 3 weeks of the training program is to condition the ligaments and muscles to be able to start with a beginner running program in November. We also want to teach your body to use fat as the major source of fuel so that you can lose the excessive bodyfat.You have to lose at least 4 to 6 kg. of body weight within the next 6 months. This is only 1kg. per month and by reducing your intake of carbohydrates a little bit and drink 2 litres of water per day ,this is easy achievable.
• It is important to do the training sessions one after the other to make sure your body deplete your glycogen fuel in the muscles and eat into the fat reserves after 40 minutes of training.
• All the training at this stage should be done at a moderate (easy) pace to prevent the risk of an injury.
• Try to run/walk on soft surfaces-grass,dirt road etc. as much as possible.
