When learning how to run, beginner runners often succumb to one major pitfall which can easily be avoided. This podcast explains how to learn to run the easier way by avoiding this common beginner runner mistake.

It turns out that the easier way to learn how to run is also the more enjoyable, more efficient way. Equally important, following this training tip will make a running injury less likely because it lowers the intensity, and that is everything.

Most beginner runners, after observing experienced runners, think they’re just supposed to run and keep running, but for the new runner, any running, even a quarter mile of running is always intense, and that’s bad.

You’ll notice that experienced runners usually look comfortable, relaxed and happy when they run. News flash: Beginner runners should not be working/training at a level that is more intense than those experienced runners. That makes no sense, is not necessary, and is a bad idea.

Listen to this podcast and learn a beginner runner tip you can implement immediately.
