If it's cold outside, do not put lots of clothes on since even several minutes of jogging will make you hot pretty quick. It is preferable to wear tracksuit bottoms, rollneck, and a lightweight hooded windbreaker jacket. Don't even think of peeling off both while you are running and right after that as you may simply catch a cold. In regard to the underwear, try to avoid wearing cotton items since cotton absorbs sweat and traps cold. And what's is really important comfort wise while running in the evenings is wearing a reflective vest so that the drivers could spot you against the dark.

Yet, such punishment didn’t constrain him from wearing Nike shoes but only increased his popularity around the world.

• Running should bring pleasure. If you grow tired during the route, change activities, from running to quick walking. The only rule is not to stop.
• Your muscles require a good warm-up before running. Start from jogging, jumping or just swing your arms for at least 10 minutes.
• The crucial feature for quality running is smooth movements. Try not to bounce and keep your back straight and relaxed, not bent at the waist.
• Proper breathing technique also plays important role in your training. Practice deep belly breathing and try to inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. When breathing through your mouth only, a human organism signals the brain that's something goes wrong and you are suffocating. Train this breathing technic and you will get used to it soon.
• You should move at your own pace, keeping breath even. There’s no need to beat other runners’ records unless your body is ready for that. Keep up with your own rhythm and build up endurance.
• Take no notice of the covered distance during the route.
• If you are a new runner we recommend you to train alone since you may not keep up your companion's pace and thus, overtrain and overload your heart.
• Listen to the music while running.
• Put on pace for the last 30-50 meters of your route for your muscles to get over with the load.
