It just occurred to me how funny it is that humans need advice on how to run these days. It's pretty simple in reality, we've been doing it since we evolved from monkeys.

Just get out there and DO IT!

Originally posted by EvilTree -use proper breathing technique. in through your nose, out through your mouth. don't hyperventilate. slow down if you're having trouble breathing until you get back to proper breathing and then speed back up again.

I agree with most of what you said, but there is no "correct" way to breathe.

If you can breathe through your nose, you're not running hard enough. Think about the size of your nose vs your mouth, and the amount of oxygen you can get in to each.

In my years of running competitively, before I gave up because I was lazy, I only ever met ONE person who breathed through their nose. You can tell because they sound like a fucking teapot whistling and you can hear them coming from a mile away.

I was always in and out through the mouth. Just do whatever feels comfortable.

Originally posted by EvilTree -if you don't want to be sore, stretch properly before and after. I spent min 5 mins when possible at least 10, esp. if you're just started to run. or else you'll be real sore. special emphasis on leg muscles, esp. groin. hold your stretches at least 30 secs for proper stretch

Stretching will help prevent injuries and tightness the next day, but not soreness. (yes, there's a difference between soreness and tightness). The only way to relieve soreness is with adequate blood flow to the area, via

a) doing a proper warm down
b) alternating between cold and hot on the affected area(ice and hot shower)
c) running gently the next day
d) running so damn much that your body becomes immune to it, as mine did.

Stretching is great though. I'd recommend 10-15 minutes, regardless of ability or experience.

Stretching is only really necessary for when you're going fast though, because the muscles are at full extension. My cousin was totally against stretching, and he ran across Australia without doing it once (3 month trip!). I think that was stupid though.

I find it that if I'm breathing in through my mouth, I end up hyperventilating because I don't feel that I'm getting enough oxygen to my lungs and feel I have to make up for it by taking in shorter breaths more rapidly through my mouth.

If I breath in through my nose, I take in a deep breath hence using max air capacity of my lungs and helps me keep a steady breathing rhythm.

May be just me, but this is what works for me.

Once you've run for a long time, your body gets used to running so less stretching is required, yeah. I know a dude in mid 40s who runs like 10km everyday and all he does is one arm dip to the toes. Crazy guy.
