Since we do a fair bit of running in camp (I know many of you have nightmares that involve the words, "to the water coolers and back!"), here are a few suggestions to make sure you don't jack yourself up while barreling down the trail.
Some of the top tips include only training 3 days a week; listening to your body (i.e., walking when you need a break, instead of pushing through); slowing your pace; and never stretching a muscle that's injured. I know we all wanna be as hardcore as possible, but there's nothing hardcore about having to sit out for several weeks because you can't use one of your limbs. (Just ask some of your fellow campers, who've gone through it in the past.) Read the rest for more running tips that will keep you in the game.
