Running is the most popular sport in the world. And yet while it is something most people can do, it can be very hard - and it can be confusing, when you don’t know which shoes, which gear, which nutrition or which hydration is right for you. These 10 articles will help you become a better runner or at least a more knowledgeable one.

Runners train hard and bore their family and friends with endless stories about their training. It doesn’t have to be that way!

The 30 best running tips are really helpful and give you a good overview of what to keep in mind when running or thinking about running.

Running is such a wonderful sport and has so many benefits for your health and your mind. Running is something you can do alone just by yourself or with friends or as a part of a running group or a larger running community. Whatever you prefer, make sure to stretch and also use at least two pairs of running shoes - this is what my biology teacher advised us to do 35 years ago, and this is an advise I still follow after all these years. If you like running as much as I do and you also like to read about running, please make sure to subscribe to Five Things Running!
