running - the basics

running and jogging safety tips for beginners

Preparation

  • Simple warm-ups and cool downs are a good idea before and after any run or jog and should include basic stretching exercises.

  • If you have sustained an injury in the past consult a professional for advice about appropriate exercises to perform.

  • Runners and joggers, particularly women and girls, should ensure that their diet is nutritionally balanced.

Training practices

  • Recreational runners should not run too far a distance per week. If fitness is your overall goal, intersperse running with other activities, such as cycling or swimming.

  • Build up running speeds and distances gradually.

  • Follow an individual training program prepared by a qualified coach.

Equipment and technique

  • Choose shoes carefully, preferably with professional advice.

  • Runners with potential biomechanical abnormalities (e.g. leg length discrepancies) should have these assessed and treated by a professional who can recommend corrective actions.

Environmental factors

  • Ensure you drink adequate water.

  • Use a broad spectrum sunscreen and wear a hat and/or sunglasses on sunny days.

  • Avoid running in extreme temperatures.

  • Avoid slippery surfaces as can occur during wet or cold weather.

  • Avoid running on soft sand, cement or other hard surfaces.

  • Ensure that running tracks are regularly checked for hazards such as potholes, loose debris, rubbish etc., and properly maintained.

If an injury occurs

  • A running injury should receive prompt first aid treatment.

  • Injured runners should allow adequate time to regain their strength and range of movement before recommencing running.

  • When restarting running after and injury, it is important that runners build up to the previous distance or pace slowly.
