Running
Build fitness and clear your head with nothing but shoes and a route.
Running has close to zero barrier to entry: a decent pair of shoes and a safe route are enough. Couch-to-5K style plans make it approachable even with no running background.
Getting started
Start with a walk-run interval plan rather than trying to run continuously right away.
