You’ve planned your run, laid out your clothes, and told yourself, “This time, I’m really doing it.” But when it’s time to step out the door, suddenly, every excuse in the book creeps in. I’m too tired. It’s too cold. Maybe later… Sound familiar?

When I first started running, I didn’t think much about injuries. I assumed running was simple—just put on shoes and go. Until one year when I let the excitement of Spring running get the best of me.

Training for my first 10km race, tracking my runs became my secret weapon. After each run I would write on my printed running program the distance I covered a...

Starting a running routine can feel like climbing a moutnain when you've barely taken a step. But every runner - no matter how experienced - begins at the same place: the starting line.
