A beginner runner can typically start with short running workouts of 10 to 15 minutes, gradually building up over time as their fitness level improves. As a beginner, it’s important to avoid overtraining, so it’s best to start with shorter runs and add more time and distance as you get used to running.
The definition of “heavy training” just changes as you run. It depends on the pace, the duration and your personal goals. Also, every time you start running, your body needs a bit of transition time. Your heart beats faster and your blood vessels expand to get more oxygen to your blood and then to your muscles.
“I’m half kidding when I say that running is never that easy: you just go faster or run longer,” says track coach Kyle Kranz. “For a new runner, a pace of 11 a.m. m. may sound moderately easy, but two years later, a pace of 9 a.m. m. it may seem moderately easy.

Let’s try to answer this question without the best for a minute.
How long does it take to run 10K?
We look at 10,000 world records and 10,000 times, the latter reflecting the the 10,000 average times.
Now let’s open the scope of our focus and answer: “How long does it take to run 10,000?”
Run 3 to 4 times a week
Most experts recommend running three to four times a week. However, these guidelines should be viewed with caution if you are new to running. You need to constantly evaluate yourself to see what is most comfortable and fits your current fitness level. You don’t want to overdo it, but you still want to constantly challenge yourself.
With this in mind, beginners should not attempt to run five to seven days a week, as this puts them at high risk of injury. Your body has to adjust to its new life as a runner, and if you keep stressing it nonstop, you can end up with plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and other common running injuries. It’s better to take it easy and progress rather than end up on the sidelines before you start.
