We prepared a few tips that will improve your runs and make them more enjoyable.

• Start a diary of your training and log all pertinent information. Write down how you felt after the workout or mark it right in the app after completing the run. It will help you find out which workouts work better. You can go even further and mark what you ate before the run and see how it affects your performance.
• Work on the proper technique and watch your upper body. Look ahead when running, your eyes should not be focused on your feet. Make sure your shoulders, neck and arms are not too tight and check your grip - your hands should be relaxed and loosen. Pay attention to your feet - you should be landing on the middle of the foot and then rolling through to your toes.
• When you're starting out running, it's really easy to jump the gun and start running at a faster pace. Slow down if after a few minutes of running you feel that your heart is racing and it's hard to catch your breath. Pace yourself so that the second half of your run is faster than the first half. Get back to basics if you are struggling through part of your run. Focus on form and breathing to pull through.
• If you are not one of those people who just enjoy the process of running, you should set a goal. It will help you stay on track. You can also set milestones on the way to your goal. Don’t get discouraged if you miss a goal or milestone along the way. We all get busy or otherwise distracted and fall short sometimes. Set new goals and keep going.
• Vary your training: switch to stair or hill running once in a while. Include swimming and cycling workouts for cross-training to prevent yourself from getting sick of running.
• Take recovery seriously - give your body enough time to recharge and to get ready for the next workout.
