Expert Tips to Run Your First 1k Meter Dash

There is something that I shall owe to my ex-trainer: ‘running reminds you that even in your weakest moments, you are strong!” It has been eight long years that he last taught me this and I have surely learned a lot of things over this period, but this adage has been an overarching constant throughout. I have been running a constant dash of 1k or 2k meters ever since then and it has been one of the greatest achievements of my life. Here’s what I can help you know about it.

I may be no Olympic runner but there is surely a great deal of time and patience that I have invested in myself. Running your first 1k meters is no mean fluke, it is a hard-hitting job and it requires a laser-guided focus. I started as a next-door, skinny guy who never intended to go any beyond than just working out six days a week and was interested only in seeing ‘how it pans out’ in the end.

My ex-trainer was an Air Force veteran who had retired as a Flight Lieutenant. He was the only one to see in me what I could not have then seen in me. He asked me to invest three months in going by a regular schedule of cardio, biceps, triceps, legs, and sometimes HIIT- and then take on “the impossible.”


The first week was as sore as you’d expect. Every single muscle of my body was under tremendous pain and working under the aegis of an Air Force champ was only making it worse. For some strange reason, he used to push me a lot harder than he used others, and I would mind saying that it miffed me a great deal.

I wanted something easy to just pass the buck and be done with it, but nothing of sorts worked with the genius who was around. I pushed in the same manner for three months, save for only those twelve Sundays that came in between.

He was a perfectionist and of the best grade. All I could do was to take inspiration from him and work as he wanted me to.

The champ wanted to make sure that everything was in order, and he never seemed to mind if he could have trained someone with the same goal in four weeks with a different running style. He invested time in me and three months later, I was up and running for a cause that demanded only my best efforts. Check out the mevolife's blog for more details.
