Earlier this year, when I decided to start running, I started searching the internet for some articles for beginner runners. However, after a lot of searching I couldn’t find many articles for people like me: already relatively fit but with no real running background. Most of the beginner articles I found were “couch to 5k” type advice. I wasn’t just getting off the couch; I had no problem going for a five mile run, but I knew that I probably shouldn’t just go from not running at all to running thirty miles a week if I wanted to stay injury free.
