Yes you can! How to start running, for those who can’t stand it

There was never really any fun in having to do laps around the gym – both in high school and college – because I had to, and because it was warm up for the sports I actually signed up for. I had a “running phase,” as most people did in the early 2010s, but I put that phrase in quotes for good reason.

And it’s true – unlike many fitness fads that come and go, running requires little equipment. All you need is yourself , a good pair of running shoes, comfortable clothes, a nice place to run, and water.It’s obviously important too that you find a safe and fun space to run – a tall order in a megacity like Metro Manila that’s notorious for being pedestrian un-friendly.

But if you're feeling a little more adventurous than usual, go ahead and wing it. Keep your safety in mind at all times, of course.“People have different reasons for not wanting to run,” explains Ian. If you’re really looking to stick to a run routine, joining a club like Nike+ Run Club might be a good option – you automatically have a community of runners you can trudge through with.

For Ian, the most important thing to look for in a running shoe is comfort. “Whether you’re a novice runner or a competitive one, your run shoes should always be comfortable,” she says.
