In this video, I’ll walk you through exactly how to build up to your first full kilometre of non-stop running, using a smart, realistic, and beginner-friendly approach. This isn’t about going fast. It’s about building confidence, staying consistent, and feeling proud when you cross that 1K mark without needing to stop. We’ll start by talking about the most common struggles beginners face — like losing your breath in the first few minutes, pacing too fast, and mentally giving up before your body actually needs to. Then I’ll share the key tips that helped me and many of my clients go from walk-jogging to confidently running their first full kilometre. Here’s what you’ll learn in this 5-minute video: 🏃♀️ How to start slow (and why it matters) Most people go out too fast, burn out quickly, and feel like they “can’t run.” I’ll teach you how to pace yourself in a way that feels manageable from start to finish — so you stay in control of your breathing and energy. 🚶♀️ Why run-walk intervals actually work You don’t need to run the full 1K on your first day.
