Learned a lot over the years, the hard way. Part of the challenge is the challenge of decades of mis-information out there,,,, like running naturally causes injuries. No, bad running plans, bad shoes, bad technique, and bad overall fitness causes running injuries,
This year I've discovered running poles. OMG, for hills it's like gaining two extra feet. Not so useful on a treadmill though,
Treadmills are problematic. Find some dirt,
If you have the knowledge and experience, it would be a service. I've thought of it myself, but aside from the fact that it's been less than a couple of years, what I've learned may be atypical.
Treadmills suck, but they help me get the miles in and set a pace, while I'm still strengthening some things that can go haywire on pavement. Just one of the things I wish I'd known from the start.
