Alternate between running and jogging

The primary goal of running for fitness is to run for maximum distance. In order to cover the maximum distance, it is important to be steady and that can be achieved by alternating running and walking. During periods of intense running, the heart rate shoots up, walking for some time helps stabilize the heart rate and provides time for rest and recovery, enabling the runner to cover longer distances.

Don’t lean forward

It is important to remember that a good posture is not just important for Yoga but also for cardio.
