Too many aches and pains from running every day? Running shouldn’t cause the body to break down but BAD running does. Improve your running mechanics and you’ll find that not only will you lessen you injuries, you’ll also find it easier to improve pace and stamina.

As with any goal, ill-fitting gear can prohibit you from reaching your top fat-assasinating performance.
