So.
1. Running efficiency depends on movement technique, and the most efficient 160 km race requires perfect technique. But the paradox is that you don't need to know about technique to start running. At all. Just step out onto the forest path or sidewalk and run. Run at least 50 meters - as long as you can. You can run a little more the next day. This activity will help you experience the incomparable joy of movement. It's like child's play, and it should be like a game. Don't worry about your speed or how much you run. Let it be an effort only 50 or 70 percent of the maximum.
2. The best way to "enter the zone" is to run with a friend and talk as you run. If you cannot speak, you are running too fast or too tense.
3. Combine running and walking, if necessary. Feel free to walk uphill instead of running. Add distance gradually. Your long, slow jogging will strengthen your heart and lungs, improve circulation and increase your body's metabolic efficiency.
