If you think that running is the easiest way of maintaining good health, then you might be wrong as there are multiple technicalities that one should keep in mind while running, otherwise one can face adverse effects.

Researchers explained that if the runner increases the distance, then he shouldn't increase the speed, one should always do pre-run stretches and should make sure to wear the right shoes, the Independent reported.

Xavier Amatriain, Vice President of Engineering at Quora and regular marathon runner, said that to avoid injuries one should limit the speed if willing to increase the distance of the run or if one is running faster then he should keep it shorter.

Amatriain added that by just focusing on running without doing leg/core strengthening exercises or quad/gluts exercises one could end up having injury.
