1.      Carry a small bottle of water with you.
2.      Run on the pavement or the side of the road facing incoming traffic.
3.      Run on a side road where there is less traffic.
4.      If it’s raining or it’s wet, shorter steps reduce the chances of slipping.
5.      When you get out of breath – walk, when you feel normal again – run.
6.      Do a bit of gentle stretching when you finish.
7.      At the end of the run, come back home.
8.      Buy a non-cotton quick dry T-shirt, get yourself a pair of running shoes .
