Technique
How to do Running
- Begin with a few minutes of brisk walking or light jogging to warm up your muscles.
- Settle into your running pace with an upright posture, a slight forward lean, and your gaze ahead. Land with your feet under your hips and keep your arms bent at roughly 90 degrees, swinging naturally.
- Maintain a steady, sustainable pace and rhythm, adjusting speed based on your training goal.
- Finish with a few minutes of slower jogging or walking to cool down.
Form cues
Getting it right
- Keep your shoulders relaxed and your hands loose to avoid wasting energy through tension.
- Breathe rhythmically, coordinating your breath with your steps to stay relaxed.
- Take quick, light steps rather than long strides to reduce impact on your joints.
- Increase your distance or pace gradually over time to avoid overuse injuries.

Let the app run Running for you
Durata logs the distance and the time, and keeps last session's figures in front of you, so you always know what you are chasing. That works on any of our 50 free programs, or on a session you put together yourself.
