Running tips:

Start slowly to gradually get the circulation going. After about 10 minutes take a short break with some stretching exercises. Vary the pace to increase performance gains. Avoid overexertion, especially on steep sections; better walk if you lack basic fitness. Include warm-up and cool-down phases. Let the run wind down and avoid stretching too intensely afterwards!
