Running tips from Thibault -
1. Start by listening to your body: Thibault suggests grabbing your running shoes and going for a run based on how you feel. Don't push yourself too hard in the beginning, just focus on getting started.2. Track your progress: If you're unable to measure your distance, Thibault recommends keeping track of the time spent running. Start with a specific duration, like 10 or 15 minutes, and gradually increase it as you progress.

3. Embrace variety: Thibault advises runners to keep their routines interesting by exploring different routes and distances. Don't be afraid to try new paths and challenge yourself.

4. Join a running group: Running with a group not only provides motivation but also allows you to discover new trails and learn from experienced runners. Look for local running clubs or use platforms like Strava to connect with other runners in your area.

5. Focus on enjoyment and progression: Thibault suggests sticking to a routine until it becomes too easy or boring. Only then should you consider increasing your pace or distance. Enjoy the process and let your running journey evolve naturally.
