Just got into running, any tips?

I’m fairly fit but also starts slow with the couch to 5k program.

Perhaps any technique sharing with breathing, stride, gear, etc would be appreciated!

    Look into midfoot or even forefoot striking (there are lots of videos that go into great detail). If you strike with the heel (which you do if you extend your feet out in front of you) you’re almost certainly going to have knee issues. Plant your feet under you and focus on extending your legs behind you instead.
