Last night I went for a run as I prepare for the Rock n roll half marathon and the Texas Reebok Spartan Beast. I have never been a great runner and while I was in the Air Force running was one of my least favorite activities. On my run last night I remembered researching the benefits and the proper form for running. Needless to say I was doing it all wrong and I am sure that is the same case for many other runners.

Let me just say that good running form takes practice and this infographic will provide some useful tips. Improper running form could lead to so many different injuries. No wonder my knees had been hurting.



When working toward better health most of us have to use a mix of different fitness techniques. I know I have hurt myself many times using improper techniques. Last night I started to think about my form and what I was truly gaining from running. The benefits are amazing for your health and running is a great addition to any workout. For overall health most of us can not just focus on strength training and adding cardio will provide lasting benefits.
