Starting at the gym? More isn’t always better 👀

🏃♂️💪 Ready to level up your running game? Here’s how to boost your endurance effectively!
✨ 1. Easy Runs Are Key
Keep the pace conversational! Aim for 80% of your weekly runs to be easy, allowing your body to adapt and utilize oxygen more efficiently.
📈 2. Increase Distance Gradually
Stick to the 10% rule: only increase your weekly distance by 10% at a time. This helps prevent injuries and lets your body strengthen safely.
🏋️♀️ 3. Incorporate Strength Training
Add leg strength exercises like squats, lunges, and calf raises twice a week. Strong legs mean better form and efficiency, especially when fatigue sets in.
Let’s get those miles in! 🏅
