Plus, some more training tips from CanToo

1. Look after your feet 
Visit a reputable shoe store that analyses your running style and find shoes that are right for your feet. Invest in a couple of pairs of good running socks designed to keep your feet from rubbing while you put in the hard yards training. 

2. Core Strength  
For injury prevention, always add in regular core work! Weights are helpful, or you can try some cross-training, targeting the muscles you don’t always use in running or walking. 

3. Listen to your body  
Don’t push yourself too hard and too early, you don’t need to run or walk faster/harder/longer than you planned. Your health is the most important thing, if the pain is sharp, stop straight away. 

4. Rest and Recovery  
Always use a foam roller, get a decent night's sleep, and eat properly – these things cannot be overstated!
