Livebetter.ie // Staggered Steps Running Workshop (Suitable for beginners)
Details
Looking to take up running for the first time but don’t know where to start?
Have you tied up your shoelaces after procrastinating for hours on end, just to find yourself aimlessly running for 15-20 minutes with no end goal in sight?
Have you scrolled through the internet trying to find running sessions and workouts to undertake only to be overwhelmed by the amount of information available?
Have you gotten to the point where you’re simply fed up after a couple of runs because you feel like you’re not getting any perceived benefits?
Most importantly, have you refrained from taking up running solely because you are/were too nervous to put yourself out there and felt unable to really give running a go!
