If you’ve made a personal commitment to get fit, starting with something simple such as cycling or running is an excellent idea. You won’t need a lot of equipment to get started and there are some accessories and clothing which are ideal for the two disciplines. If you’re feeling adventurous, why not devise a fitness regime that includes both?!

If you haven’t exercised for a while, don’t be too ambitious at the start or else you’ll be too sore to move the next day! Begin with a combination of walking and running and gradually build up your tolerance. You might be surprised at how quickly you feel ready to tackle 5k.

Steps for success

One of the most common reasons people give up running is because they try to do too much, too soon and don’t take the necessary time to give their body a little TLC.

Rest is just as important as running if you want to get fit. If you don’t factor in time for your muscles to recover you’ll end up burnt out and nursing an injury. Speaking of which, if you have an injury, don’t try to continue running the next day. Take time out to heal and you’ll be back in your trainers again much quicker than if you try to ignore the pain.

Icing your muscles after a tough run is a helpful method that reduces inflammation - if you can bear the shock of the cold! Some runners also use ibuprofen but you should check with a medical practitioner first as it’s not suitable for everyone.

Getting the right kit

Going for a run is one of the easiest things to do, even simpler than cycling, but you will need a little preparation. Having the right running shoes won’t just look good, they’ll also protect your joints from injury. Don’t be tempted to go for a run in a pair of worn-out trainers you happen to have lying around; you’ll feel the pain and could set back your progress by weeks.
