Each day, millions of people from all around the world go for a run. Some run marathons, some go out for a jogging session, and some venture into the mountains for an uphill sprint. However, all of these runners have one thing in common; they are all healthy.

It’s no secret that running is one of the healthiest activities that you can take on. From the numerous cardiovascular benefits to the powerful calorie-burning properties, regular running will help you keep your body healthy and in shape for many years to come. Moreover, running is an activity for people of all ages. The youngest marathon finisher was only five years old at the time of the race, and the oldest one was 101.

However, like every other dynamic activity, running requires preparation, adequate equipment, and caution. While running itself has no downsides, running-related injuries are more common than you may think. In fact, 65% of all runners suffer an injury within their first year of running.

Warm up properly, play some music over your headphones, and you are ready for a run.
