5 STEPS TO BECOMING A BETTER RUNNER
 Most
runners always try to find ways to improve. Very often, they
receive misguided advice and time + effort go to waste.
In this article, we'd like to offer you 5 simple initial
steps to becoming a better runner. Adhering to these simple
guidelines will eliminate half the unnesessary work commonly
done as well as minimise chances of injuries. Start here to
ensure your success.
1. YOU HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO RUN. The strangest
anomaly of sports - while the technique in other sports is
normally taught, running technique is assumed to be "natural"
or "god given". That is one HUGE mistake that brought
on an avalanche of injuries and decades of suffering. Sounds
dramatic? The payback is indeed dramatic. But if you manage
to accept that you have to learn how to run and do it - the
rewards will surpass your expectations!
2. STICK TO ONE WAY OF RUNNING. There was
a time when there was no particular running technique discussed.
There were various books, thoughts on running, training plans
and recommendations on running form, etc. These days there
is a number of running styles taught. For best results, we
recommend selecting a style that appeals to you and makes
sense to you, and then stick with it. Selecting parts of one
running style and mixing and matching it with various other
styles and recommendations is counterproductive and can lead
to injuries. For example, if you choose to learn the Pose
Method of Running, we recommend to follow the instructions
without altering the method. There is a Beginner's Guide offered.
3. TAKE YOUR TIME LEARNING. There is no
sense in doing something if you haven't got the slightest
idea of how to do it. Putting in volumes of wrong movement
will simply lead to injuries. A required hiatus in your running
routine wouldn't be as much of a set back as injuries would
be.
4. FOCUS ON DEVELOPING YOUR SKILL OF RUNNING.
Until one knows how to act and actually has a speaking role
in a movie, nobody will dream of winning an Oscar. Get busy
developing your skill of running and set your goals of winning
marathons for later. Have your priorities in the right order
to achieve maximum success. It would definitely help to keep
in mind that much desired things like faster speed and injury
free running are the byproducts of a supremely developed skill
of running.
5. KEEP TRAINING SESSIONS SHORT, BUT TRAIN REGULARLY.
One of the biggest mistakes made is overloading on training.
You will achieve better results if you approach your training
as a system where you take things step by step but on regular
basis.
