Fitness for Beginners
The first fortnight decides whether a new routine lasts. Begin with walking or a no-equipment bodyweight session, add one strength movement with a form you can check in a mirror, and only then think about pace, hills or a 10K plan. The running-pace calculator in this hub turns a target time into splits so a race pace is a number rather than a feeling. Stop and get advice if you have an existing injury or medical condition.
