The Urban Dare in Fort Worth, one of our first races together
We were all new runners at one point of time. It’s only fair to share our experiences and advice with those who are beginning their running journey. We recently asked our twitter community if you could tell a new runner 1 thing and 1 thing only as they embark on their running journey, what would it be? Here’s what they said!
@bmlueb Brian Lueb
Smile and have fun after all it is simply running.
@Running_Nina Nina Renee
Embrace it and enjoy it.
@JasciaRed Jascia Redwine
If you could tell a new runner 1 thing and 1 thing only what would it be?” that’s it’s ok to WALK

Getting through the difficult “beginning” phase will help you see and understand that (cont) http://tl.gd/ba8u0v

When you think you can’t go any farther, do it. You’ll surprise yourself every time. You’ll never regret it.

@TreyHernandez Trey Hernandez

just put some shoes on and go. My first run was in a pair of tennis shoes I borrowed from a 13 year old.
@BrennanAnnie Ann Brennan
Make it a habit and it will become easier.
@StartRunningNow Raul and Rachel
Expect to be transformed. Running has a way of making life make sense. Just know running is a journey…savor it.
@ksterba Kristen S
I would tell them don’t give up. When I started the C25K program I never imagined I could run more than 3.1 miles.
@LifeisaRun Teal & Beth
You’ll have bad days, but keep going bc a good day is right behind it!
@jharpold Jason Harpold
If someone tells you that you HAVE to be doing x, y, or z they don’t know what the hell they’re talking about. #Running
@cstanderfer Courtney Standerfer
Run the mile you’re in

Is not about speed, is about completion.
@kimrunsWA K Denny
I say stick with it and you will grow in amazing ways, be patient and enjoy the journey.

Be patient, it takes years of practicing the fundamentals to see your potential.
@polkadotskies Elizabeth
Run your own race!
@Foodie_Runner TVK
the first 15 mins of a run always suck.
What 1 thing you would you say to a newbie runner?
