· if you are new to running be sure that you have been
walking for 30 minutes at least 3 days a week about 3 months before you try to
transition to running.
· Do not bounce or overstride. Don't let your foot get
ahead of your knee. Run from the hips down with the upper body straight up and
used only for balance.
· Breath in through your nose and out through pursed lips.
· Choose shoes appropriate for running and that fit well --
they don't cause any discomfort or blisters.
· When running in colder weather be sure to wear a hat. A
large amount of heat can be lost through your head.
· Replace your running shoes at least every 650-
800 kilometres
