Frequently Asked Questions
Two or three runs a week, with rest days in between, suits most beginners. Walking breaks are fine and often help you run further. Your coach will build up gradually.
Road shoes suit the lakefront paths, while trail shoes with more grip are better on gravel and hill tracks. A comfortable fit matters more than any feature. Ask your coach if you're unsure.
Strength work helps, but running improves mostly by running. The best results come from consistent running combined with a couple of short strength sessions a week.
