🦝 STRIDER QUICK TIP: START SLOWER THAN YOU THINKEver start a run feeling GREAT……and 10 minutes later wonder what happened? 😂You may have simply started too fast.Whether you're running, walking or doing a little of both, give your body time to warm up.👟 Start the first few minutes easier than you think you need to.❤️ Let your heart rate and breathing gradually increase.🏃 Then settle into the effort you planned for the day.Starting controlled can help you feel better later in the workout—and makes it less likely that today's easy run accidentally becomes a race against yourself.Remember:You don't have to win the first mile.Sometimes the best workouts are the ones where you finish feeling stronger than you started. 💚👇 Be honest: Are you good at starting easy—or do you get a little too excited? 😂🦝 Saline County StridersRun • Walk • Connect

It's about getting outside, finding people who enjoy doing what you enjoy, and sharing a few miles together.At the Saline County Striders, you'll find different paces, different goals and different levels of experience.🏃 Runners🚶 Walkers🏃♀️🚶 Run/walkers⏱️ Faster folks🐢 Slower folks👟 And people just getting startedYou don't have to “get in shape” before you show up.Showing up is how you get started. 💚👇 Have you ever been nervous about showing up for a group run or walk for the first time?🦝 Saline County StridersRun • Walk • Connect

🏃♂️🚶♀️ YES, WALK BREAKS STILL COUNT!Think you have to run nonstop for your workout to “count”?Nope.Run/walk intervals can be a great way to:✅ Build endurance✅ Increase your time on your feet✅ Manage fatigue✅ Ease into running as a beginner✅ Keep moving when continuous running feels toughAnd here's the important part:Taking a walk break doesn't erase the running you already did. 😉Some runners use run/walk when they're getting started. Others use it during long runs, races or hot-weather workouts. And some simply discover that it's the way they enjoy running most.There isn't one “right” way to cover the miles.🏃 Run. 🚶 Walk. 🏃 Run again.Forward is forward.👇 How about you—continuous running, run/walk intervals, or walking?🦝 Saline County StridersDifferent Paces.
