Running Right

Running is great exercise – if you do it right
正確跑步方式 - 跑步是很棒的運動，但要有正確 的做法.

The sun is out. The weather is pleasant. It's a great day for running. But before you start, here are some tips for avoiding injuries.

Be safe
Pay attention to what's happening around you while you run. If you are running along a road, wear light-colored clothes so drivers can see you.

Listen to your body
Running is tiring and can hurt. But consistent pain indicates that something is wrong. Maybe you need to change the way you move to put less pressure on certain muscles or joints. Or maybe you're overtired and need a day off. Resting when necessary will help you get back to running as soon as possible.

Choose good shoes
Pick comfortable shoes that fit the unique shape of your foot. This will prevent strain on your feet, ankles, legs and back.

Mix it up
Many experts recommend cross-training - doing other physical activities besides running. That could mean biking, swimming or playing a sport. By varying your exercises, you avoid injuries caused by repeated motion.

Following this simple advice will help you stay safe while you get healthy.
