~ Invest in GREAT shoes. Spend. Get advice, try on, see an expert. You will regret a bad shoe (ask my torn calf muscle from my first attempt!)
~ Invest in a muscle roller! Great help for after the run when you sit down and then it hurts to stand back up again.
~ 80's music really is the best.
~ Run off pavement...my trail has a dirt sidetrack I use and I can really feel teh difference in my knees.
~ Hydrate hydrate hydrate!
Anyone else have some good tips?
Good advice - well the 80s music is subjective.
But, I would add :- Pace yourself. Try not to focus on speed in the early months.
