I’ve been a personal trainer in Los Angeles for 20 years and I don’t give praise lightly, but this was a very good article. I’m a runner just like you and martial artist. The information in your article is the kind of stuff I try to impart on my clients. Variety and consistance are key.

Thanks.

By far the largest group of clients I see in my orthotics clinic is recreational runners that run on hard sufaces (mostly road running). The impact on knees, ankles and even the lower back is unreal.

My advice about running on grass and sandy beaches usually goes down like a lead balloon but the added advantage is that it can break up the boredom of running past cars all your session.

Great article. Thanks.

Nice article. Condensed but has all the essence I needed to exercise. I never was a runner but I started to do the Sprint Running this week and wow…. it’s amazing the feel after a week. It’s really fast and efficient and it saves me time to do some weight exercises (upper body) at home. Thanks!!

Oh yeah, gotta love those interval sprints. I can’t honestly say anything good about long distance running, but then I’m not really a fighter. Also try timed stair sprints if you have some stairs nearby and a stopwatch.

Learning how to run properly and where to run is important for people to know so they could avoid injuries.

It’s great that you have posted this stuff. I used to hurt my knee joints when I was starting out on my fitness regimen and I learned that I should avoid concrete pathways to minimize impact on my joints.

Great post!

Very informative information. Well I live in a city and do not have much grassland around and I will still try to make effort to run

That’s a nice article with some valuable information. I also love to run in order to stay fit and I usually run on grass, concrete and treadmills.

thanks, nice site & information!

…well actually i dont really like jogging (or running long distance) because of the impact it has on one’s legs and feet (unless your running technique is PERFECT, you are likely to injure yourself, i used to do a 1 mile run (not much i know) but my legs and shinbones hurt LIKE HELL, and my cardio and lung power didnt benefit much at all.

hillsprints, on the other hand, are MUCH better in every way. you allmost cant help but do it right because: a). the slope of the hill ensures that you land with the BALL of your feet b). that you dont get the speed to hurt yourself c). no matter how fit you are, hill sprints are a heart-punding, leg shaking man killer, whereas a jog is really only good to burn fat and not much else.

in my opinion, hill sprints are also excllent for aerobic, as well as anaerobic, fitness.
