Want to run better? Here are my top 10 running tips to keep you injury-free
Correcting your running technique can prevent injuries and make you faster
I love to run and have for years. I mean I really love to run.
I’ve run for nine hours throughout the night on the trails around Squamish pacing a friend as he ran a 100 mile race. I’ve run to the Lions and back along the Howe Sound Crest Trail because I think it’s fun. I’ve “celebrated” until 3 a.m. and then woken up at 8 a.m. the next morning to run a 40-minute Sun Run. I’ve coached a lot of runners and studied the sport.
You get the picture.
I also enjoy watching people run and move in general. I’m not a sicko stalker, I’m just a kinesiology geek. I like to figure out how their bodies are moving and if they are compensating in any way.
And I often cringe when I see runners plodding along with a grim look of determination.
Running is meant to be enjoyable. I know some speed workouts and hill runs can be tough, but for many of your runs you shouldn’t be pushing yourself to the point of pain.

To help you enjoy your runs and make them more enjoyable, here are my top 10 running tips to help you with your running technique:
Have fun!
