Having been a runner for several years now, I've decided to come up with a list of common mistakes that runners make:
1. Starting too fast - slow it down to start!
2. Wrong apparel - your clothes should be light and breathable - stay away from cotton in the winter
3. Improper hydration - make sure to drink enough water (at least 64 oz a day)
4. Running with old shoes is the fastest way to getting an injury. Retire those sneakers every 300-400 miles.
5. Not taking time to recover - Rest days are your friend
6. Lack of variety - work in some hills and speed training - your body will thank you.
That's all I've got for you right now. Stay tuned...
