If your first mile always feels a little…off, it’s probably not the run itself.
It’s the zero-to-sixty start.
Most people go from “sitting” straight into running and expect their body to just figure it out. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it reminds you halfway through.
Try one of the following exercises consistently:
• Running Man – helps your body find its stride before you actually run
• Monster Walk – wakes up your hips and glutes so they’re not late to the party
Takes a couple minutes. Minimal equipment. Big difference in how your run feels during and after.
