6 Tips For New Runners
When first starting, always focus solely on form.
Keep your hips, spine and neck aligned.
Minimize your up and down movements.
Run in as straight a line as possible.
Generally the quieter your running the better your form is.
After 3-4 weeks, running at a steady pace should feel effortless. If not go back to tip #1 and make sure you’re doing everything correctly.
