Training Tips by Women's Fitness
Walk before you run- The difference between walking and running is determination. But don’t jump straight into a running programme, begin with a walk/run programme. One of the biggest mistakes beginner make is trying to run too fast! You’ll just get really out of breath and your legs will just want to give up. Begin with a pace that is just slightly above your walking speed. You must be able to run at a speed that you are able to speak. Safety must come first with cycling, so take all training at your own pace and most of all ensure you are enjoying yourself!
The aim would be to do 4 sessions per week, if this is not possible ensure that you do 3 sessions preferably with one session being a combination of jog and bike.
Guidelines
Do not attempt to train through an injury, get it seen to by a professional
Do dress correctly, light cool clothing in the summer. Use sun block and cap when sunny
Ensure you are wearing the correct foot wear. Visit a good sports shop who will help you select the ideal shoes for you.
