Real Talk: How I Actually Started Jogging

I used to think jogging was just... running. Turns out, there’s a bit more to it if you want to avoid sore feet and quitting after a week. 🔸 Get shoes that fit your feet and where you’ll run. Road shoes for pavement, trail shoes for dirt. Don’t just grab whatever’s on sale—your knees will thank you. 🔸 Dress for the weather and comfort. Breathable clothes, good socks, and pockets for your keys make a huge difference. Trust me, chafing is not fun. 🔸 Plan your route and stay safe. Well-lit areas, reflective gear if it’s dark, and running with a buddy (or your dog) helps you stick with it and keeps things safer. 🔸 Start slow. Seriously. Walk-jog intervals are your friend. You don’t need to sprint out the gate—just build up a little each week. If you make it easy and fun, you’ll actually want to keep going. Happy running! #JoggingTips #BeginnerRunner #KeepItSimple #Health #Fitness
