Jogging is as simple as putting one foot in front of the other, right? Right — and wrong. Right because there just isn’t a more basic, down-to-earth, inexpensive way for the average person to achieve fitness than by jogging. Wrong because if it’s so darn easy why do so many people start, and then just up and quit?

Like every other activity, there are certain jogging tips that need to be followed and which — like the guidelines in most other activities — are usually ignored. The results of such ignorance are usually outright injuries and those little (and not so little) aches and pains that can take all the fun out of this simple and otherwise enjoyable hobby-sport.

In an effort to avoid such dead ends while getting more people on the road to fitness, Rory Donaldson and the National Jogging Association have put together a remarkably complete — and inspiring — little book called Guidelines for Successful Jogging

We’re happy to be able to excerpt a bit of this fine little manual here. It’s just what the title implies — and just what the doctor (or sports podiatrist) ordered!
