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.

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