From Christine Luff, your Guide to Running & Jogging
Summer can be a dangerous time for runners because the nicer weather and more daylight hours may tempt you into doing more running than your body and fitness level is ready for. It's also easy to find races during the summer months, so you may find yourself racing every weekend and not giving yourself enough time to recover. This week I have some tips on how to stay healthy and enjoy outdoor running all summer long.

Get the Right Shoes
A little investment in time and effort for finding the best running shoes will help keep you comfortable and injury-free. Here's what to do to find the right shoes for you.

Avoid Too Much, Too Soon
More is not better when it comes to running. Don't make the "terrible too's" mistake of doing too many miles, at too much intensity, too soon.

When Should I Run Through Pain?
Knowing what kind of discomfort is safe to run through is important to making sure you don't injure yourself.

Tips for Running Injury Prevention
Follow these steps to keep yourself on the road.
