Content and Overview

This course is divided into five parts:  

Part 1: An Overview to Running – Here you will get a historical overview to running and understand how it is the most affordable sport requiring negligible investment. You will also get a sense of the benefits running can bring to you and to your social life.  

Part 2: Prepare Yourself to Run – Here together, we will examine the running essentials and see how 3-4 days of running per the plan can improve the quality of your life. We will also see the importance of setting realistic achievable targets and why 10K is the ideal distance for anybody aspiring to be fit and with a little bit of challenge thrown in!  

Part 3: Nutrition and Sleep – Here, we will talk about what to eat, what not to eat, how much to eat, and at what time. You will also see how some specific foods are well suited to the sport of running and their role in quick recovery. We will also touch upon sleep and the myriad benefits it brings.  

Part 4: Training Plan and Exercises – This is the engine of the course which talks in detail about the plan you will be following for the next 8 weeks. Besides run days, we will be talking about the importance of rest days and cross training days. While running causes some amount of wear and tear, what we eat and how we strength train our body for optimal returns, results in a totally injury-free running experience. 

Part 5: The Zen of Running – This part includes important considerations that we don’t often talk about in the context of running. Here we will be talking about things like how to run for the joy of running and not make it a slugfest of timing and distances, how to incorporate yoga practices to truly experience total bliss in the state of running, and more.
