I packed this site with everything I have learned about running in my 20 year running career. I ran competitively for nine, and have coached for the past eleven years. You can find information on types of workouts, interviews with incredible runners, information on the latest shoes and gear, what are the newest trends in running, how to avoid a running injury, and much more.

10. Get out the door! It is better to run for one mile than to think about running five.

9. Set your goals high. Make sure you have a running goal to accomplish. This will keep you focused. I suggest take it further and write goals for everything in life, from work to family.

8. Try some different running workouts. Add some intervals, a tempo runs, fartleks, a long run, or progressive runs to your routine.

7. Get a running watch. Keep track of how long you have ran and how much time it took. You could even get a GPS watch that stores all this running information for you.

6. Hit the trails. Running on grass instead of pavement can help prevent injuries. Your legs will thank you.

5. Strengthen that core. Sit-ups can help prevent the dreaded side stitch. Also, drink more fluids to help with cramp prevention.

4. Keep track of your runs. Log how far you have run, and how long it took you. You can do this in a running journal, or a running log online.

3. Get a running buddy. It is easier to stay motivated if you have a friend or if you are part of a team.

2. Get a pair of running shoes. Running is a relatively inexpensive activity. The only thing you really need to invest in is running shoes. Find a good pair. If you know your foot type, you can find good deals online by comparing prices of Men's Running Shoes or Women's Running Shoes.

1. Have a plan! Here are two great comprehensive programs that can help you achieve your goals. Just a beginner runner? Try going from the couch to running a 5k. Considering the marathon? Here is the best program out there - 100 day plan for running a marathon.

That's my top ten running tips, but there is so much more that I have to share. Knowledge is power so read on!
