  • Or if you live in a hilly place, you might wish you had a nice flat track to run on. But how do you find one that's open to the public? Turns out it's easier than you might think. Many public high school tracks are available for the community to use.

The article from MSN outlines several methods for finding a running track nearby and provides a beginner's workout plan. It suggests using tools like Google Maps or MapMyRun to locate tracks, checking local high schools or colleges, and exploring community centers or parks. For those without access to a track, alternatives like running paths or even indoor facilities are recommended. The beginner's workout includes a warm-up, followed by intervals of running and walking, gradually increasing the running duration over time. The workout starts with a 5-minute warm-up walk, then alternates between 1 minute of running and 2 minutes of walking for 20 minutes, and concludes with a 5-minute cool-down walk. This routine is designed to build endurance and stamina safely for those new to running.
