OVERVIEW OF RUNNING* The technical definition of running is: moving at a speed faster than a walk, never having both feet on the ground at the same time.* Running is a popular physical activity, but it requires a lot of hard work. It takes time to improve your time and distance.

PROPER AND SAFE TECHNIQUE

* Make sure you are looking forward insteadof down.

* Your shoulders should stay low and loose, without tension.

* Don’t clench your fists tightly, just hold your fingers lightly against your palms.

* You should try to run in an upright position because it helps lung capacity.

RUNNING SURFACEWhen you are running it’s not considered playing, unless it’s the game of tag.

ATTIRE Synthetic materials are the best/most popular because they draw sweat away from the body,whereas cotton stays wet when you sweat in it.

Synthetic socks reduce discomfort and reduce your chance of getting blisters.

You should have good running shoes that support your arch and are made for running.

SAFETY ISSUESRunning can be very rough on your joints and your body; if you don’t stretch or if you over do it, you are bound to pull a muscle or injure yourself badly.

If you hurt yourself, be sure to rest until your injury is better, otherwise you can injure yourself further.
