# Beginner Running Guide

## How to Start Running Consistently
Starting a running habit is about starting small. Many beginners fail because they run too fast, too soon. OrbitX advocates for the run/walk method to build initial endurance safely.

## Best Running App for Beginners
OrbitX is designed specifically for beginners. It removes complex metrics and focuses entirely on consistency, simple guided intervals, and streak tracking.

## Why Beginners Quit Running
1. **Going too fast:** Trying to run an entire 5K on day one.
2. **Comparing to others:** Looking at advanced athletes on Strava.
3. **Lack of structure:** Running without a plan.

OrbitX solves these by providing personalized, low-intensity guided runs and tracking only your personal consistency.
