Beginning Running

Beginning Running: Growing in an Active Lifestyle Beginning running is a sport that has great benefits. Most people start running to get their body in shape or for a specific health reason. Runners want to have more energy, protect themselves from heart disease, or they just want to feel better (Rodgers 14). Also, running is proven to be one of the most effective, cost-efficient, and accessible weight lost strategies (Allen and Bede 9). Beginning running can start at any age and continue to grow through an active lifestyle. Newton states, “no matter when, where, why, or how you’re running, it’s something you do for you.” Running can be hard especially if you are just starting a program. It takes not only physical ability and mental fortitude.
