Self Manifest Today.
As a beginner you should prioritize sheer volume, the best fitness indicator is total miles by week.
If you can get multiple run/walks in a day and your body isn't pushing back, even better.
Dietary approach:
Eat samller portions.
Small snacks throughout the day, bananas, spinach, good juices and trail mix. Pho / Soup or salads at lunch. Juice clense for a week or two. Drops fat weight, raises metabolism. Supplement with Omegas and Probiotics.
Running Technique:
Use your calve muscles. Quads kick in on climbs but the calves should be your prime movers. If you tend to heel-strike, shorthen up your stride - try landing on your toes to the mid-part of your foot. This will help keep your ankles and knees healthier.
Running Pace:
Begin slowly. Gradually work up to pace during the first mile. This allows your body time to adjust to the pace demands. Finishing the run in a sprint, or atleast in tempo -- this is where you really burn up fat stores.
Running Mindset:
Be a child of Light: laugh and joke, talk and smile particularly in the beginning. Early stage stress can flood the body with adrenaline and quickly burn off higher energy stores. This is unnessecary. Level out by talking and laughing during the run and before. By lowering the early stress, you'll have more energy needed later in the run during climbs/demanding terrain.
Cross Training:
Cross training is very useful particularly when you've wore your joints sore in a previous effort but still need to get some cardio work in. Activities include: cycling, swimming, sprinting at the track is an excellent cross-train, stair-master, eliptical trainer, deep water running
