Prevent Injuries While Marathon Training
Injury prevention is a very serious issue for those who run regularly, especially those who are in training for a particular race or event. In these cases injury prevention is not only important because it helps the runner to avoid a painful injury and potentially long recovery period but it is also critical because an injury can disrupt the training schedule and result in the runner not being properly prepared for the race or event. This article will provide some basic tips for runners which will help them to prevent injuries.
Choosing The Proper Fit: Running Shoes
Because everyone has different shapes of feet, as well as different needs, there is no "best shoe" that fits everyone. There are many factors that should be considered when trying to choose the right running shoes. These factors include a persons biomechanics, weight and the type of surface you run on (example: turf, grass, a track, concrete, etc.) the shape of your foot.

New Social Networking Site, Traxee.com, Targets Running, Training and Fitness for Women
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 9, 2008 -- Traxee.com (http://www.traxee.com/), a comprehensive social networking (http://www.traxee.com/) site addressing the needs and lifestyles of nearly 6 million women who have a passion for running (http://www.traxee.com/), has just launched in beta by Tuesday Creative, an interactive agency based in Los Angeles.
The site, conceived by veteran marketing and creative executives Beth Moore and Julie Running, offers a fun and secure space to connect with other women who take running seriously. In addition, Traxee.com contains essential tools to track members' fitness goals and offers growing content for women athletes on training, health and nutrition issues, and the latest in gear and apparel.
Moore was inspired to create Traxee after her own experience and perspective as a female runner. "In my early thirties, I was an out of shape chain smoker. I couldnt even fathom running 10 yards, let alone a marathon. It was purely on a whim that I took a turn around the track at my husbands gym one day?that was a lap that completely changed my life."
"Traxee provides a unique social networking community for women who live an active lifestyle," Moore continues. "For women, being physically strong, feeling capable and getting what we want out of our lives is interwoven with our sense of who we are as human beings. Being a successful athlete, regardless of whether you are training for a marathon, a 10K, or just working up to your first mile, is all about goal setting and achievement. Traxee community members support each other, provide invaluable training advice and share their experiences both on and off 'the track'."
According to American Sports Data (ASD) women's running (http://www.traxee.com/) has experienced a surge over the last 5 years and female runners now comprise nearly 50% of the running population in the United States. Nearly 6 million women are frequent runners, logging 100 or more days of running per year.
"When we created Traxee," Running adds, "we realized there are lots of sports-related media out there for women. However, much of this media focuses on fashion, weight loss and other superfluous issues -- we wanted to create a place for the women who are serious about their running and recognize that fitness is a lifestyle. We look forward to growing Traxee.com based on the needs and desires of the community. Women runners are now a powerful force in athletics all across the world. It's an awesome privilege to be able to provide a space for women at all skill levels of the sport to share their experiences and support each other."
Founded in January, 2008, the Traxee mission is to provide a social networking community where women can come together, inspire and support each other in all stages of the sport, from running for fitness, to training, to competition. Traxee's distinctly female perspective on the athletic lifestyle reflects the essential balance between strength of body and strength of spirit. Through a fun, supportive environment of likeminded women, comprehensive content, expert advice, the latest product information & reviews and innovative interactive tools, Traxee community members can set, track, achieve and celebrate their goals "on the track" and in life.
