Basically the same rules apply for running as for jogging with a few exceptions.
1.Running is a natural progression for those whose bodies handle jogging well.
2.Balance your running program with appropriate strength and flexibilty exercises.
3.Wear the right shoes. A pair of running shoes designed specifically for this activity.
4.Stretch while running. Specifically the achilles tendon, calves, hamstrings, quadriceps, feet and low back muscles.
5.Allow for adequate recovery of the joints, ligaments and tendons. This usually means one day rests between workouts.
6.Increase intensity and distance slowly during the beginner stage. Interval training will help to increase your fitness without injury.
