I coach high school cross country and track, and I developed this site to help me organize all my running tips. Every link is designed to help runners find what they need. Let's start it off with my top ten tips
1. Get out the door! It is better to run for one mile than to think about running five. 2. 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. 3. Be safe. If you run on the roads, wear bright clothes. If you are running when it's dark, get some reflective running clothes so cars can see you. 4. 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. 5. Hit the trails. Running on grass instead of pavement can help prevent injuries. Your legs will thank you. 6. Strengthen that core. Sit-ups can help prevent the dreaded side stitch. Also, drink more fluids to help with cramp prevention. 7. 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. 8. Get a running buddy. It is easier to stay motivated if you have a friend or if you are part of a team. 9. Have a plan! Here are two great comprehensive programs that can help you go from the couch to running a 5k, or a 100 day plan for running a marathon. 10. Get a high quality pair of running shoes. Running is a relatively inexpensive activity. The only thing you really need to invest in is running shoes. Get 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. If you have never been fitted for a running shoe, visit a running specialty store and have them check your feet and running stride to determine the right fit for you. That's my top ten running tips, but there is so much more that I have to share. Knowledge is power so read on!
