10 Simple Steps For Beginning Runners To Train For Their First 5k.

Here are ten tips for beginners to help you prepare for your first 5k:

  1. Start slow and set achievable goals for yourself. Don’t try to do too much too soon, or you may risk injury.
  2. Build up your endurance gradually. Try to increase your running distance and time gradually over several weeks or months.
  3. Invest in a good pair of running shoes that fit your feet properly. This will help to prevent injuries and keep you comfortable while running.
  4. Plan your training schedule and stick to it. Set aside time each week to train, and make sure to include a mix of running and other types of exercise, such as strength training and stretching.
  5. Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your runs to keep your body properly hydrated.
  6. Listen to your body. If you feel pain or discomfort, slow down or stop and rest. It’s better to take a break and recover than to push yourself too hard and risk injury.
  7. Find a running buddy or join a running group. Having someone to run with can help to keep you motivated and accountable.
  8. Don’t be afraid to walk. If you need to take a break and walk for a bit, that’s okay. Just remember to start running again when you’re ready.
  9. Celebrate your accomplishments. Every time you run a little farther or a little faster, give yourself a pat on the back.
  10. Remember that everyone has to start somewhere. Even experienced runners were beginners once, so don’t be discouraged if you don’t see progress right away. Keep pushing yourself and you will improve over time.

StrideBox And COVID-19

Hello Runner,

Yes, we are still shipping!

In the wake of the global outbreak of COVID-19, we are all experiencing changes that may impact consumer demand and affect our business.

Currently, our fulfillment and shipping processes are operating normally and on schedule. Some of our vendors and incoming supply lines have been disrupted, but this has only been a minor issue. Should there be any changes in our production lines or timeframes, we will let you know.

We made a specific decision almost a year ago to work remotely as a team. This means, we have been remote (other than fulfillment) since long before this National issue.

All of our shipments are handled by the United States Postal Service. They have their frequently updated COVID-19 information Here.

From our entire team at StrideBox, we’d like you to know that we value your loyalty now more than ever. Please be safe during this time.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us at service@stridebox.com. We are all in this together.

Just Keep Running,
James and The StrideBox Team
