As everyone gets back to work after the festive season, it is important to maintain your regular fitness routine. You can use this time to focus on your technique and posture.
Focus on running tall, leaning forward from your feet (not hips), relaxed shoulders, arm movement from collarbone to ribs, look 5 metres ahead and aim to strike the ground mid foot.
