usually when you run long distances, run heel to toe. running on the balls of your feet puts more pressure on your knees and is harder on them. usually you should only run on the balls of your feet when you are sprinting. unless your running a marathon, run heel to toe.
of course run on softer surfaces as well. that can help lessen the impact and will prevent injuries and wear and tear to your joints and ligaments.
if you get tendonitis, take flax seed oil. that helped me clear up the tendonitis quickly when i got it. for joints and ligaments, take glucosamine chondroitin. that helps repair them and make them strong.
i have had several top running coaches and have ran at TOSH. so im not talking out of my ass  |
