Beginner Runner

Debbie Voiles

The ultimate podcast for anyone ready to start running. Coach Deb's philosophy is to start you gently, to assume you're not fit, and to make sure you enjoy the journey. She calls it the 10 Steps to 2 Miles Program because not everyone wants to even do a 5K, and they definitely aren't looking to do that any time soon. People just want to run. The goal is to help people who don't run or can't run, become a runner and discover the joy of running. This show is your virtual running coach, your guide to fitness, adventure, and fun. If you've ever wondered: How often should I run? How do I breathe correctly? Why am I so out of breath? Is it okay to walk? What if I'm slow? Where do I start? Do I need special shoes? What is proper running form? — you're in the right place. Coach Debbie Voiles provides practical running tips for beginners that take the guesswork out of getting started. You'll learn how to find an easy running pace and understand how to approach running for weight loss. You'll discover the starting point that's right for you, how to build consistency, and how to prevent running injuries like shin splints and knee pain. Most importantly, you'll create the running habit and start to thrive in the running community, looking forward to every run. Whether your goal is to finish your first 5K, get healthier, or simply discover something you love doing, Beginner Runner is here to help you become a runner.
