🧠 Top Takeaways From This Video:
Jogging slowly (conversation pace) is the best way to build your aerobic engine. 80% of your weekly running should be at this pace.
Don’t chase distance. Focus on time spent running—especially early on.
Fuel properly for longer runs and hydrate well in the lead-up. Don’t overdo it with gels!
Change up your runs during the week. Add some intervals, hills, or tempo runs—but keep it fun and sustainable.
Running doesn’t have to feel like a grind. Start slow, be consistent, and the progress will come.
