  Runners love to, well, run. And who wouldn't. Running can extend your life, put the kibosh on stress, and even bolster your cardio health. For beginners, though, mastering this new sport can come with a setback or two that can keep you from making running a habit that sticks.

The article from MSN outlines six common mistakes that new runners often make when they start out. Firstly, many beginners run too fast, not allowing their bodies to adapt to the new activity, which can lead to burnout or injury. Secondly, neglecting proper warm-up and cool-down routines can hinder performance and increase injury risk. Thirdly, improper footwear or wearing shoes that do not fit well can cause discomfort and injuries like blisters or shin splints. Fourth, ignoring the importance of rest and recovery can lead to overtraining, where the body doesn't have time to repair itself. Fifth, not incorporating strength training into their routine leaves runners vulnerable to muscle imbalances and injuries. Lastly, setting unrealistic goals can lead to frustration and demotivation; instead, runners should aim for gradual progress. The article emphasizes the need for patience, proper preparation, and a balanced approach to training to ensure a sustainable and injury-free running experience.
