If you’ve done a lot of walking, but you’ve never run before, you might feel a bit intimidated to get out there and start running. These helpful tips will get you on the right track:

Getting the right running shoes for your foot type is crucial for comfort and injury prevention; try visiting a specialty running store to get fitted
Make sure you warm up and cool down properly by walking for 5- 10 minutes before and after your run
Start out slow by intermixing running and walking
Stretch after your warm-up to help improve form and flexibility
