5 EASY TIPS FOR BETTER RUNNING – GLOBAL RUNNING DAY 2023
In this 5-minute guide to better running created by “Born to Run Coach” Eric Orton, he takes the concept of running for fitness and rewrites it. When you know how often to run, how fast, and how far, you can turn running from a workout into a joy.
Watch Coach Eric’s guide to help you make the most out of every step and avoid common frustrations and injuries.
To build a running habit that you look forward to, keep the five things Coach Eric shared at the top of your mind…
- Don’t compare yourself to other runners. Your running journey is your own.
- Make it easy. If you want to build a strong, joyful running habit, keep it fun.
- Turn running into a craft. Explore form and technique and pay attention to how your body moves and feels when you run.
- Do less more often. A ten-minute run every day will get you further than trying to run for an hour a couple times a week.
- Focus on your foot core. Running strength and form starts with your feet, so build that foundation.
Put Yourself on the Fast Track to Better, More Joyful Running
If you want to build your foundation faster, develop better running form, and get more joy from your runs, Xero Shoes can help.
Xero Shoes running shoes have foot-shaped, wider toe boxes that let your toes splay and spread. That gives your feet a wider, more natural base when you’re running, which promotes balance and gives you fuller access to your “push-off” power.
They also have a zero-drop, non-elevated heel. This puts your foot in its natural position when you’re running and you’ll notice how your posture improves.
The thin, flexible soles let your feet move and bend naturally, give you ground feedback which helps with form and technique, and provide just the right amount of protection for your feet.
Try Xero Shoes running shoes for better form and a more joyful run.
