&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Running Tips:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Wear spandex shorts under your regular running shorts so you don’t chafe&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cotton socks will only lead to blisters; invest in socks designed for running.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Join your local running club—check with your local running store fitness center and/or recreation department to find one&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Find a committed running partner. It is much harder to skip a run when you have someone else depending on you&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Remember that- It gets easier.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Accept and appreciate the fact that not every single run can be a good one&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Do not compare yourself to others. Run within yourself and for yourself first.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Even a bad run is better then no run at all&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If you normally run with music try skipping it and listening to your feet to hear your pace and your gait&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Don’t be discouraged if you don’t experience weight loss immediately&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Start a running blog, to see your progress and set goals&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hydrate. Make it a habit to drink water throughout the day&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;On long runs eat something every hour—whether you feel like it or not&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;During longer runs if you don’t like to carry water take some cash in your pocket pouch or a shoe wallet. Run a route where there’s a corner store that you can use as a pit stop to pick up your water and maybe use the bathroom&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To aid recovery the most crucial time to eat and drink is in the hour immediately after you run&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use Vaseline or BodyGlide wherever things rub. They will help prevent blisters and chafing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Do not increase your mileage more than 10 percent per week&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If you are prone to shin splints and lower leg pain try running soft trails for your Training runs and save the asphalt for race day&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Do not run two hard days back-to-back&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ice aches and pains immediately&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Pay attention to your form. Try to run lightly to minimize impact that could lead to injury&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;When running don’t forget the bug spray, sunscreen and a hat- BIG TIME!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Neosporin (or another antibiotic cream) is good for chafed areas&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Make sure you cut your toenails short enough so they don’t jam into your Shoes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Be careful about running on paths that force you to run consistently on a slant. It’s hard on the hips knees&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Don’t stretch before a run. Warm up by walking briskly or jogging slowly for several minutes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Do not ice for more than 20 minutes at a time&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;For beginners, set mini goals to keep you motivated. (Can be minutes [run 5, walk 10], run between street lights then walk between street lights, run till the next bus stop, until you pass a car on the street)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Do not use the hot tub after a race. It will increase inflammation and hinder healing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Be aware of cyclists approaching you from behind and try to keep to the right. Try to pay special attention when running with music&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Run facing traffic.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Never assume a car sees you&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Doubleknot your shoe laces so they will not come undone when you run\&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If you listen to music, put earbuds in the go inside your ear, if you are usuing the ones that sit in your ear, it will fall out&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Buy yourself some actual running shoes from an actual running store because running in junk “sneakers” will destroy your feet and your legs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;At first keep your runs short and slow to avoid injury and soreness so you do not quit.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If you are breathing too hard slow down or walk a bit until you feel comfortable again&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Pick your route close to home (out your front door)—the more convenient it is the better chance you will have sticking with it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Set realistic short term and long term goals&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Remember Soreness one to two days after a run is normal (delayed onset muscle soreness).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;There’s no shame in walking&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Four laps around the local the high school track equals one mile&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Vary your training routes. This will prevent boredom and prevent your body from getting acclimated&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Push through rough spots by focusing on the sounds of your breath and feet touching the ground&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Do abdominal breathing to get rid of side cramps&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Run on trails if at all possible. It will be easier on your body and you’ll love it&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Dress as if it is 10 degrees warmer than the temperature on the thermometer&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Run early in the morning or later in evening to avoid mid-day heat&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To keep cool in hot weather soak a bandana in cold water wring it out a bit and tie it loosely around your neck&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the winter dress in layers (coolmax or other technical clothing) and wear a headband over your running hat to cover your ears&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are SO helpful! I’ve finally started running and these tips will help me and get me more motivated!
