2. Variety is the spice of life
Train on different surfaces. Run on softer (grass or trail) as much as possible.
3. Never skip a warm up
Give your body time to warm up when going for a run. Do not jump straight into a fast pace straight away. Always do a good warm up and cool down when doing interval/paced sessions.
4. Follow this golden rule
If you're unsure about a niggle or pain follow the ten minute rule; start your run and if after ten minutes it's still sore, go home.
5. Be ready to look after an injury
For sore or injured muscles follow the R.I.C.E formula: Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. Simple and effective.
6. Don't be afraid to go to a doctor
Seek medical or physiotherapist advice when injured. Do not ignore pain or real discomfort.
