The problem with running is that you go out for a run, but the reasons why you do so tend to be rather vague – to get fitter, to stay healthy. There has to be more meaning to it; it needs to be more quantifiable.

Incremental Running is a way of giving purpose and motivation to exercise. It will ensure that you have something to aim for. And that’s what most people need – something to drive them.

Incremental Running works by adding up the cumulative mileage from each run you do, working towards a target you set. It should appeal to people who want to exercise but all too often find reasons not to go out for a run. The Reluctant Runner.

In practical terms, it’s about simply jotting down your running mileage both in terms of the singular amount but, more significantly, the cumulative mileage and then equating that cumulative mileage to a geographical distance.

It’s effective because it is Reckonable, Accessible, Motivational, and Personal.

By Incremental Running, there’s more meaning and purpose to going for a run – you’re working towards something, a target you will have set for yourself. Hence, the drive and motivation.

What you tend to find is that once you start Incremental Running, you will go out running more often and even run longer distances. You have something to aim for, a tangible reason why you should go for a run.

In my case, I ran from Hull to London and back – 397 miles in a year. That’s quite an achievement; it’s something I’m quite proud of. It’s a lot more impressive than just saying I go out for a three-mile run every so often.
