Running, jogging, and walking tips...

[long4short]

---

Running form is important to avoid injuries. Since you said you are a newbie in running, wala pa siguro ma corrupt imong form.
I would suggest you buy the book Chi Running. Naay baligya sa Runnr or sa Amazon.
I have been injured numerous times because of my bad running form, and Chirunning really worked for me. Karon buyag lang nawala na tanan injuries.
I'm not an expert ha, just an average runner...

the very reason why i am asking around, kay basi mao nuon ako maproblema when i get older... naa koy kaila nga running enthusiast, surgery jud xa intawon.

check pud sa youtube bro..daghan tips didto..

lagi nagcheck bitaw ko youtube bro, pero lahi-lahi man gud ila tips... naay sulti nga kung muland, heel-to-toe, uban toe-to-heel, uban middle... libog ko anang middle kung unsaon, murag lisod man itiming...

heel-to-toe is self-explanatory, kanang toe-to-heel is the same as midfoot landing (it's impossible to land on your toes...)
I would advice midfoot landing bro. which means you land first on the "balls of your feet" then heel next, it doesn't mean "middle of your foot" literally.
this is because if you land on your heel first, you will be like "braking" in each stride. ang impact inig land nimo sa heels will be hard on your ankles, shins, knees, and hips..
mao na akong problema sauna, heel-striker. akong injuries before were to the plantar fascia, achilles tendon, and extensor tendon. dili lalim ma-injured bro.
Invest nalang sa book (Chirunning), naa didto tanan, it will be really worth it. or you can borrow it from your friends.
You don't have to follow everything the author says, pero sure ko naa jud ka makat-onan ato...

Since your thread is asking for the basics, here's my two cents on running form:
1. land midfoot
2. land your foot directly beneath your center of gravity, not ahead of your body
3. lean forward slightly while keeping your body straight, not slouching. this is so that you will create a slight momentum going forward
4. try to lift your heel instead of pushing-off so that your tendons will not be strained.

Basic reminders: go slow at first, ayaw bigla ug fast pace or long distance. record your weekly mileage and don't increase more than 10-15% weekly.

Last and most important, enjoy your run!
