Helpful Running Tips for Beginners

Is getting into the habit of running or jogging one of your New Year’s resolutions for 2024? One of the best tips we’d recommend for beginners is to explore the benefits of custom orthotics for running. With the help of Foot Levelers’ XP3+ custom orthotics and other helpful running tips, you can expect to hit your stride and set new personal bests. 

Great Running Tips for Beginners

Have a Goal in Mind

Not having firm goals in mind is a reason why so many fall short of their New Year’s resolutions. It’s not enough to say that you want to start running—give yourself something measurable to strive toward. Whether it’s running a mile without stopping or participating in your first 5K next Thanksgiving, having something to build toward keeps you motivated, engaged, and on the ball. 

Support Your Body 

Some of the best tips for beginners don’t involve the actual act of running. What you do around your daily run is just as important as what happens once you hit the track or the sidewalk. To be your best and continue to get better, you need to take care of your body. That means getting a full night’s sleep, drinking plenty of water, and eating healthy meals and snacks throughout the day. It also means taking care of yourself in other ways, including regular chiropractic adjustments and massages at Healthy Life Chiropractic. 

Consider the Benefits of Custom Orthotics 

It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or well on your way to running a marathon—custom orthotics are absolute game-changers. Foot Levelers orthotics are tailored to fit your feet, providing optimal support and comfort. Custom orthotics like the XP3+ are great for absorbing impact from running, which helps reduce soreness and pain after the fact. By helping keep injuries at bay to keep you on pace, custom orthotics can help you achieve your running goals and set the bar even higher.

Patient Reviews

"I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet following the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. After seeing my PCP and being prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, I looked into the benefits of Chiropractic care. I was in so much pain from the plantar fasciitis that is because difficult for me to walk. I was unable to carry my newborn and walk because I was concerned for his safety. As part of my care plan, custom orthotics were recommended. Within days of receiving my orthotics I had a reduction in my pain. Regular Chiropractic visits and my orthotics have allowed me to be able to care for my son again!"

"I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years walking on hard floors 10 hours a day. I felt a horrible pain in my right hip/buttocks area and could not bend or walk. My sister did a little research and recommended Healthy Life Chiropractic- They do EVERYTHING! After the first treatment, the pain was gone! After being educated on my problems, they worked on my whole body and it feels 100% better. I have never been a good sleeper, but I am sleeping much better and get up in the morning ready to go! I have never felt better!"

- Michael Chambers

"My daughter came in to see Dr. Rob for possible curve in her spine. She was officially diagnosed with scoliosis after her evaluation. As parents, we were having a hard time wrapping out heads around what that meant for our beautiful 8 year old girl. Dr. Rob, Dr. Tina, and the whole staff at Healthy Life Chiropractic have been phenomenal! After 2 months of treatment- regular adjustments and exercises- we are seeing a huge improvement! Her hips are aligned now, her feet meet properly, and she is feeling better all around. We haven’t retaken her x-rays yet- not until we’ve done treatment for a whole year- but based off our experience, and results we’ve seen so far, I am confident that her curve has not gotten worse and has probably even improved!"

- Margaret Wearne

"I began my chiropractic care in October 2017 because of increased pain and decreased mobility in my left hip that had gotten increasingly worse over the previous 4-5 months. I love that I have been able benefit from whole body treatment that in turn has almost completely taken away the issues I was experiencing with my hip. I am so grateful for feeling good again and I highly recommend Healthy Life for your chiropractic care and total life wellness."

From supplements to oils and even honey can be purchased from your computer or smart phone. I look forward to a search option becoming available as there are so many products offered.”

"I have been a patient at Healthy Life Chiropractic for over 3 years! After driving several hundred miles a week and spending time on the computer for work, I not only get regular adjustments, I utilize the massage therapists as well. I've recently begun using, with success, Standard Process supplements and Doterra Essential Oils. I appreciate the holistic approach to care by all of the staff at Healthy Life!"

-Debbie Fambro

"I have been coming to Healthy Life Chiropractic for over a year now. The treatments I receive give me such a relief of stress. The personnel is a big part of my relief.
