You’ve got a slight cough, your throat is sore, your nose is running and you feel just the tiniest muscle ache. Now youre wondering if you should still go for that run. Is running with a cold bad for you, or will you recover faster if you run? Heres what you need to know. By the RW Editors
Run with Perfect Form
Good running form means more enjoyable runs, better times, and less risk of injury, so it pays to know how to tilt your head, relax your shoulders, hold your arms, position your torso and hips, and stride out with your legs and feet. Heres how to run better from head to toe. By Jane Unger Hahn
All in the Balance
Runners tend to focus on building strength, endurance and flexibility, often forgetting that running also demands balance. Stability training can thus improve your running and help you sidestep injuries – but most runners only find this out after they’ve picked up an injury! By Judi Ketteler
Go Back to Avoid Injuries
If you see a runner coming towards you but running backwards, youd be forgiven for thinking that your eyes are playing tricks – or that runner is a bit mad. Well, it may look odd, but running backwards can help you build stronger, more balanced leg muscles. By Kathleen Pennepacker
Taken A Break? Come Back Stronger
When you have to take time off running to rehab an injury, have a baby or take a personal sabbatical, you may find yourself wondering how you’ll ever get back to your previous fitness level. Heres how to train your mind and body to bounce back stronger than ever.
