Hi Crazy Runners,

Wednesday saw a hardy group join Tring Running club for their annual open evening. A great event and a lot of fun was had by all, despite rumours of wild animals and crazed staved wild men patrolling the woods hunting down nervous runners I’m very pleased to report that no-one got lost, got eaten or was kidnapped and sold into slavery, this running thing might be quite good fun after all :-)

Proper running shoes have cushioning to protect you from the pounding on pavements in particular – they don’t have to be the most expensive – but go to a specialist running shop where they can analyse your running style and help you find the correct shoes. Many new runners can experience shin splints and knee pain because of the lack of proper cushioning.   Running on softer surfaces will also help to avoid injury – so try to find off-road routes whenever possible.
