Jogging

[chezlorenze]

As a newbie, I would like to know how much distance should I practice running every day so that I can endure walking through an 18-hole course? I know my stamina won't make it but I want to improve my physical condition before going on this kind of course.

This would depend on your physical ability. Walking an 18-hole course would be similar to walking 6-8 miles, or hiking 6-8 miles depending on the course.

If you are really out of shape, then start with eating better and walking a lot more. Then you can ease into jogging. It might be best to look into interval training. Jog for some time, then walk, then job. Slowly go from to more jogging than walking.

If you want to make sure you don't hurt yourself, then I would ask a doctor or a trainer this question.

If you can finish a 5K, you should be able to walk most courses.  Maybe consider a couch to 5K program?

Another option, start with walking 9 holes and build up from there?

I see. I try to track my routine if I can finish a 5k. Thank you so much for the advice.
