And of course we couldn't forget runner's world!

It was actually really long and I didn't want to post the WHOLE thing.  Do take a note out of the runner's world page.  Do NOT rush the running!  It (speed and distance) will come with time and impatience and hurrying will ONLY lead you to certain injury.  Remember core, form and stability are the foundations of running.  If you don't know what proper form is and how to increase your core and stability, make sure you find someone (ie, trainer, or a friend who is an experienced runner) to teach you.  It's not impossible to correct bad form, but if you start off with the right form you will be much better off (and probably avoid a multitude of injuries you could have sustained otherwise)!

If you have questions, please do not hesitate to send me a message, I have trained my friends and would be happy to send you any pointers!
