The problem was I misunderstood what starting running is supposed to feel like. In this video, I break down: Why walking during a run isn't cheating — it's a tool Why being a non-athlete can actually be an advantage The one thing beginners should focus on that changes everything What the "Fun Gap" is and how to survive it Why obsessing over pace is a trap This is for anyone who's ever thought running wasn't for them. #howtostartrunning #runningmotivation Chapters: 00:00 The lie: "I'm not a runner" 01:06 Why running never felt like it belonged to me 02:03 The biggest beginner mistake (running too fast) 04:33 Walking isn't cheating 06:25 Why being a non-athlete is an advantage 07:24 The dip: why most beginners quit by week 3 10:29 Pace is a trap and your starting plan (4 questions to ask) 12:32 Why I started this channel Running journey started since July 2024 | Record Tracking: Year 0 - 5K 37:58 | Half Marathon (Never) | Full Marathon (Never) Year 1 - Half Marathon 1:58:56 | Full Marathon 4:33:21 Year 2 - Half Marathon 1:53:44 (NEW PB from 1:55:54) | Full Marathon 4:26:49
