The reason for writing this note was Anastasia Khitrova's question, asked in the comments to the infographic about the correct running technique. She asked how to start running workouts if a person is at the lowest level of athletic training?

Indeed, in our articles we quite often focus on people who already have some experience of physical activity and want to move forward in their achievements. But what to do for those who have all the achievements so far consist of dozens of extra pounds, a bouquet of chronic diseases and poor health?

First of all, do not despair, because you can start running classes from almost any level. Today we will introduce you to an approximate training plan that will help you start running.
Regardless of your current state of fitness, you will need the same set of qualities to achieve the desired result. First of all, it is perseverance, discipline, willpower, motivation. Add to this more gradualness and caution and then everything will definitely work out.

This training plan assumes that at the initial stage you are able to walk and are ready to devote about 20 minutes to this every day. As you can see, not much at all, but as a result, very soon you will master 20 minutes of continuous running! And this is a good basis for the transition to real training.

We remind you that you need to train every day. During classes, listen to your feelings, start a training diary. If the load of the week is easy for you, then move on to the next one, if you feel that you are not coping, then repeat again. On average, this training plan is designed for 12 weeks. So, let's go!
