Some of them will participate every week, some once and others several times, for professional reasons or because they have injured.

Inputs from the expert

of Course, you can also go to run, without this, the experts explain. The man knows how to do it. But maybe it's been a while, maybe even years, he has been active athletic. It is not wrong to get some Inputs from the expert. For example, in the case of Simon Schreiber. The 46-Year-old is the Running head in the TVU, and is, as such, each year, courses for beginner and advanced runners.

We all know it goes: left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot.

At the first Training, it is the end of February, the temperature still far short pants and T-Shirt away, and the night at 18.30 due to the winter time set in. And the back runner a bit tense of whether the challenge that you face there.

and we all know how it goes: left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot. The Whole we come just a little faster than usual until that sweating and Huffing and puffing.

Run the call, then. And it has nothing to do with the word Run together that we need in the Swiss German, if we actually Go. This is the first lesson for beginner and advanced runners. He is not a Jogger, but a runner. He's running, not Jogging. Of "Jogging" Not-speak to runner, such as Non-snowboarders "Snöben" say.

Low-profile entry

The nervousness among the participants is palpable. Running-head-writer is aware of the fact that the reboot is a big deal. Accordingly, a low threshold, he designed his course. He makes only one request: 30 minutes at a time should be able to run the participants. What do you mean, that would be an exclusion criterion for the Run. If that is too much, the writer advises, start: 10-minutes, then a 2-minute walk, then 10 minutes and so on, until the half-hour.

"In the spring people who have taken the new year resolution was to come. Or those who return to work after a break," says Schreiber. They all searched in addition to new Inputs and also the group, he believes: "this man is anonymous, like-minded people and so not so issued."

"is It on any level motivating to go to the limits."Simon writer, running coach

On Thursday nights, he practices with the running newbies, the classic forms of training: allows you to hill running or on the 400-Meter track intervals. So that the participants realize for yourself how your efficiency improves thanks to the new training stimuli. Because, as the writer says: "It is on every level motivating to go to the limits."

And with the Exercise of respect for new challenges fades. The last Training of the running course for beginners is the proof: The conditions are as you hope on a spring evening, meaning the sun and a T-Shirt instead of dark, and jacket. The participants joke with each other before coach writer starts with you.

regularity is the key

The former newcomers and returners have gained in the past two months, a lot of self-confidence. Writer calls you one last Time so right, you turn your 400-Meter laps, getting faster and faster, then the course is coming to an end.

Maybe the participants will meet again in a run group of the TVU. Maybe they meet on a round in the forest. Or in the case of a running race, for example in the TVU-organized new year's eve run.

Simon Schreiber hopes that you have memorized its key messages. "You got one shot once more, and less of the long," he said before the first joint Training. And: "The regularity is the key. The more often you go out, the more natural it will be." In the end, he still finds the most General tip for all that were playing with the idea of maybe once or again – to go for a run: "to Start and not think too far. Then everything comes by itself."

The next beginners running courses start at the end of August, respectively at the end of October. Info: //tvunterstrass.ch/beginner-run/
