Are You Holding a Good Posture?

Are you holding a good posture? Good posture is important while you run! I know it is hard to think about when you panting away!
You are just trying to get there!
It really is easy...
Imagine a light shinning through the top of your head and it passing all the way through your legs to the middle ground. If that light can't pass through because you are hunched over... than you will not be feeling as good during your run. A lot of people when they are nearing the end of there run lose there posture and start to slump a bit the side.
Good posture prevents injuries and also opens your chest so that you can breath better.
Getting you some air so that you aren't gasping for breath.
Posture and good breathing will make your running easier and keep you improving.
* If you start out running with a posture problem, that posture becomes a habit that is more difficult to break in the future.
So for now think posture and you may be surprised how good you feel!

Of course I sat up straighter as I was reading this. Great analogy with the light shining through. Posture is one of those things that seems to be so much easier said than done, but when it boils down to it, it's just not that hard to sit, walk, or run a little straighter.
