Step 1
Stretch your limbs. Skipping stretching could result in you getting tired faster and possibly injuring yourself by pulling a muscle
-
Step 2
Pace yourself when you start out. If you're training for a marathon or some other type of running event, remember that it is not important who starts out first ,it is important who finishes first. Pacing yourself will allow you to get used to the challenge of running and also let you use energy to speed up for a final run to the finish line.

Step 3
Don’t be too ambitious if you're a first-time jogger. Start out by jogging short distances like around the block. Then later, do a little more and them a little more and so on.
-
Step 4
Occupy your brain while you’re jogging. Many people listen to their iPods or have jogging buddies.
-
Step 5
Carry a bottle of water with you. If you are thirsty, don’t drink it. It will be bad for your stomach. Instead, quickly swish it around in your mouth and spit it out.
-
Step 6
Don’t sit down after you are finished with your jog. Instead, keep standing, bent over with your hands on your knees and stay like that for the next few minutes.
