I thought for a long time about what to do so I wouldn't quit after a couple of weeks. In the end, I chose running (it seems like I can do it at a convenient time and not be tied to a schedule). Where's the best place for a beginner to start? What clothes should I buy for fall runs so I don't freeze and don't spend too much money at the start? And I'm also curious, how did you find running buddies? It's a little scary to start alone, and it's more fun and easier to stick with it together. Plus, extra motivation definitely wouldn't hurt, because stepping out of your comfort zone is so not easy 🙈. I really want to get into it and make running a part of my life. I'd love to hear tips from experienced runners, meet like-minded people, and get support from those who are also just starting their journey! 😊

Definitely get a heart rate monitor watch and learn about the heart rate zone you should be running in.
Don't forget to warm up before your run!
My friend invited me to a race once. Every Saturday, there's a 5k race in my city called '5 Versts' – maybe you have something similar? They're all over Russia.

At first, we only went there together, then we started running during the week too, and later we began participating in various 10k races in the city.

Is your back okay? Some people start acting like runners and then their lower back says goodbye.

Ekaterina Salina Yeah, I get that it's not a marathon right away) That's why I'd like to find beginner runners so we can move at the same pace.

Also pay attention to your knees; if they hurt, running is not recommended either.
