Beginner & Intermediate Running

Guides, Plans, Tools & Advice

I built this site to help beginners get into running and help intermediate runners improve. It’s not an easy sport but it’s immensely rewarding and beneficial to the body and mind. I learned a lot the hard way. It was a bumpy road, but it could have been smoother. The problems I encountered when I was trying to learn about running were: too much content about the author’s personal life, a bad website, too many ads, bloated/rambling content, confusing answers…the list goes on. I found a lot of great advice, but I never found one source that compiled everything in a straightforward way, that’s the idea here.
