With winter showing signs (well, in some places) of easing off, it’s time for a lot of us to get back into running. But beginner or old hand, Megan Kretz cautions, beware these mistakes:
- Too much, too soon: Stick to the 10% rule when increasing distance (ie, if you’re running 25 miles next week, don’t go past 27.5 the next), and if you’re adding distance, don’t go for more speed, as well.
