Running Tips to make
your Running more enjoyable

To enjoy your running and help prevent injuries, consider these basic running tips:

Wear appropriate clothing. Use shock absorbing, stable shoes and comfortable clothes. After about 400 miles consider replacing the shoes, because most of the shock absorbing features will have been lost.
Run in a safe area.
Set up a running program that includes a warm up and cool down period.
It is best to run in the early morning or early evening, but avoid running at night. If you do run at night, use reflective material.
Drink plenty of fluid. If you run more than 20 minutes, it might be a good idea to have a water bottle with you.
Run with a friend. If you run alone, carry a cell phone and identification with you. Have a whistle you can use in an emergency.
Run on a smooth surface.
If you run on sunny days, use sunscreen and wear sunglasses.
Don't try to copy top athletes. These athletes have practiced and have been running for a long time.
