Episode 168 - Don and Derek: Practical Running Solutions for Health & Wellness

Don and Derek reflect on the concept of incorporating running workouts as part of an overall aerobic training and conditioning program to improve overall body composition, health and wellness.  It is no surprise that obesity numbers are continuing to increase in the western world and individuals are struggling to incorporate regular exercise into their schedules, while also improving overall nutritional habits.  While running has always been considered a relatively simple way to add exercise to an individual’s routine, it has never been considered an easy task.  Determination, patience and a bit of grit may be required.  

Understanding how much, how hard and how frequently is always the most difficult part when starting a running program.  Ideally, individuals can incorporate a combination of methods including steady state runs and interval training to provide a combination of variety and varied intensity, improving overall cardiovascular fitness, as well as general strength and power.  Finding a routine that works for the individual is the most important step you can take in this journey.
