Running for Beginners

Team World Vision loves beginners! And we want to help you feel confident as you train to accomplish a significant goal. Here are some questions we have heard from our team members that you might be asking as well...

Can I really do this??
What should I wear?
What kind of running shoes should I buy?
Do I need a watch?
What is Body Glide?
What do I do when it rains?
What is an expo?
What do I do if I get injured?
What is my pace?
Do I have to run the whole time?
No! Actually, many people do better on a run/walk program where they alternate several minutes of running with a minute or two of walking. We've created training programs to incorporate that technique into your training. Check out the beginner training programs on our Training Tools webpage.
