Stretch
The best ways to stay injury free include stretching and balancing running with rest.  Ligaments, tendons and muscles lose their elasticity as we grow older, so stretching before and after a run is particularly essential.

Mix it up
Weight training is a great way to balance running and non-running muscles.  You may want to avoid the stair climber on non-running days because it stresses many of the same muscles.  Remember, pain is your body's way of saying something is wrong, therefore do not workout or run through pain.

Drink Water
Water is responsible for transporting needed nutrients to the body's cells and transporting the waste out. This is why water is so important to us.  Some say to drink 64 ounces per day while others say 1/2 ounce per pound of body weight per day.  Obviously, the more active you are the more water you'll need.  Your body will burn more fat when well hydrated and you'll have more energy too!
