Proper running form can conserve energy and reduce the risk of injuries in children. Here are some helpful tips for parents to guide their children!

• Keep your head up, look ahead, keep your back straight, and make sure you’re not leaning forward or back at your waist.

• Breathe rhythmically and deeply through your nose or mouth when you run.

• Relax your shoulders

• Do not swing your arms too hard.

• Swing your arms from the shoulder.

• Try to keep your hands at waist level and your arms should be bent at a 90-degree angle.

• To minimize bouncing, try to keep your stride low to the ground and focus on quick stride turnover.

• Point your feet forward so that they are parallel to each other as they hit the ground.

• Focus on landing on the mid-sole of your foot.
