A: Get consistent. When establishing a continuity of run training you don’t have to do a lot each run to be effective, you just have to establish regularity. In fact, it’s better if you don’t do a lot at first. Just getting your body used to the idea that it’s going out for a short run is key to making it start to feel easier. Something as little as 10min of total running every other day for beginners. Resist the urge to do a whole lot more the first couple of weeks, this will increase your odds to sticking with it. For established regular runners, running gets easier when you start adding in strides, speed work, higher mileage and long runs
