After your run, take some time to cool down by stretching and walking at a slower pace.

Set Realistic Goals: Having a goal in mind can help motivate you to keep running. It is important to establish practical and achievable objectives.

Running puts stress on your body, and it needs time to recover.

Stay Hydrated: Running can dehydrate your body, so it is important to drink plenty of water before, during, and after your run.
