Running Tip of the Month!

REDUCE FRICTION!
Landing heavy, breaking on your heels, bounding on your forefoot and pushing off too hard with the toes all create friction.   Excessive pounding creates more shock to your muscles, tendons, and bones.   Land lightly and run smoothly and efficiently. 

Remember, you want to run like a Deer, not a Moose ;-)
