It's OK to run slow AF

In this episode of Life Kit, Marielle interviews Martinus Evans, author of "Slow AF Run Club," about how to start running. Martinus emphasizes the importance of mindset, suggesting listeners name and confront their inner critic and use affirmations. He advises new runners to get properly fitted running shoes and avoid cotton clothing to prevent chafing and blisters. Martinus recommends starting with a 15-second jog followed by a one-minute walk, gradually increasing the running intervals while listening to the body. He also stresses the importance of cross-training, including strength exercises for glutes and stretching, and encourages listeners to find creative ways to incorporate physical activity into their daily routines, focusing on the benefits of movement for overall health rather than just weight loss.
