Can you help me with this running related question?

When I run, whenever I feel tired and feel like giving up, I never stop and walk, I just run slower...

I heard that if I stop and walk after a 10 minute run, once I start to run again it will be difficult to keep up the pace because my heart rate went down.

Its hard to explain, all I know is that I must maintain my heart rate through the whole run, and walking is just going to make it harder once I start to run again.

Am I right about this?

The problem here is that you re not in shape yet, you are just getting started. If you run for 10 minutes every other day, you just can%26#039;t stay tired for more than a few weeks. Your body will adapt to your level of exertion and soon you won%26#039;t need to walk.

When you%26#039;re in shape, your heart rate will rise and fall as required to meet the challenge. When I used to run in the city, I had to stop for traffic lights; it was no problem starting up again each time because I was strong. Actually it helped because it gave me a chance to aerate a little and let my energy catch up. But if you are already exhausted, stopping feels so good you don%26#039;t want to start again!

If you%26#039;re too tired to run, stop early and you%26#039;ll be stronger next time you run. if you can run for ten minutes, every other day, for three weeks, you won%26#039;t have this problem and may even feel like running 15 minutes from time to time! Be patient.

Depends on how you feel. If you need to walk for a while then walk. If you are trying to improve your cardiovascular conditioning then you should keep your heart rate elevated, but walking until you feel like running again is not a bad thing to do. I don%26#039;t think walking for a while is going to make it harder to start running again. You should do what you feel like doing just keep exercising you will get better and feel better.

You are indeed right about this. This is where the mental part of running comes into play. You need to learn to run through that little voice in your head that tells you to stop. Even though you have the physical strength to run, your mental side maybe lacking. Therefore, try and just run straight through it. There really is no remedy for the mental side of running, just that you need to be a bit tougher with your mind.

Absolutely. I recently started running and that happens to me all the time. That%26#039;s where endurance comes into play. Try to always keep running instead of walking. If you give up, you won%26#039;t get much better. Eventually, you won%26#039;t feel the need to walk. Good luck!
