Isn’t it interesting that the most simple of all exercises, putting one foot in front of the other, would offer so many pitfalls? Running is an incredible form of exercise providing a tremendous calorie burn, strong legs, enhanced cardio-respiratory capacity, endurance and stronger bones … if you do it right. Running is fairly simple, but since it’s a high impact activity requiring a redundant motion, it’s important to take the “right steps” to prevent injury and maintain progress.
I found a fab feature online at Women’s Health Magazine which provides some smart insight on making your runs safe and productive. You’ll learn what shoes you should wear, when they should be replaced, what pace to keep and how to make progress. The information is short, sweet and to the point. Take the quiz here.
