🦝 STRIDER QUICK TIP: START SLOWER THAN YOU THINKEver start a run feeling GREAT……and 10 minutes later wonder what happened? 😂You may have simply started too fast.Whether you're running, walking or doing a little of both, give your body time to warm up.👟 Start the first few minutes easier than you think you need to.❤️ Let your heart rate and breathing gradually increase.🏃 Then settle into the effort you planned for the day.Starting controlled can help you feel better later in the workout—and makes it less likely that today's easy run accidentally becomes a race against yourself.Remember:You don't have to win the first mile.Sometimes the best workouts are the ones where you finish feeling stronger than you started. 💚👇 Be honest: Are you good at starting easy—or do you get a little too excited? 😂🦝 Saline County StridersRun • Walk • Connect

It's about getting outside, finding people who enjoy doing what you enjoy, and sharing a few miles together.At the Saline County Striders, you'll find different paces, different goals and different levels of experience.🏃 Runners🚶 Walkers🏃♀️🚶 Run/walkers⏱️ Faster folks🐢 Slower folks👟 And people just getting startedYou don't have to “get in shape” before you show up.Showing up is how you get started. 💚👇 Have you ever been nervous about showing up for a group run or walk for the first time?🦝 Saline County StridersRun • Walk • Connect
