Welcome to Running Injury Free

This site gives tips and suggestions to the thousands of recreational runners, joggers, and walkers who want to run without injury and enjoy it. I'm over 84 years of age and have enjoyed running for over 46 years, and I've created this site to give running tips and lessons that I've learned from my experiences, from my reading of the running literature, and from talking with other runners, so that you too can run injury-free and enjoy it!

There are several ways to navigate the site.
  • Use the navigational bar at the top of the page to go to the category that contains the page you want to read. Then scroll through the pages in that category.
  • Use the links under the Site Pages heading in the sidebar to go directly to the page.
  • Scroll down the page and use the Older Posts and Newer Posts links to bring in older or newer pages.

Use the What's New page to learn of changes and additions to the site.

All posts have a 2008 date, because controlling the date and time is the only way I've found to manage the position of the posts in the archive.

This site is now available in book form for a small cost for printing and shipping of the book (the pdf of the book is free and is formatted for 8 1/2 inch x 11 inch pages). The publisher and I receive no royalties from the book.
