A beginner's guide to long-distance consistent running
I had no sports background & had never run before. Started #running 2 years back (6 Nov 20) at age 49. Ran 5454 km in 2021, and 3604 in 2022 until today. 9058 km in 643 days (Av 14.1 km/d). Includes 591 10k+ runs and 106 HM

Running resulted in several benefits- 22 kg #weightloss (95kg before to 73kg now). HbA1C: 4.8; normal cholesterol & BP, resting HR 45/min. Physically active and mostly pain-free despite having #ankylosingspondylitis Not on any medications.
I wish to answer some common queries, mostly based on my personal experiences (and some based on my medical knowledge)
1. Can everyone run long distances? Yes, if there is no significant medical illness, anyone can run. If you have a health issue, get clearance from your doctor.

Couch to #running 5 km for middle age folks.😅
Start walking 10 Mins a day
Inc gradually to 30 min a day
Gradually increase pace
Start running 1 min intervals in middle
Increase running portion daily by say half a minute

In abt 2 months u will be running 30 mins a day. That will be abt 4kms at pace of 8 km per hr.
If can do min 5 days a week, thats good enough.
I am at 8.5 mins running currently. Restarted after a while. Have earlier done 10k runs😎
