  1. I would recommend visiting the Runner's World website and/or getting their magazine...they have a really great section for beginning runners.  When you run make sure you keep your body more upright and concentrate on your arm swing...keep your elbows tucked in and when you use your arms don't have such extreme movement..it should be feel relaxed or else it'll make you more fatigued.  Make sure you are running with your feet straight too, and not like a penguin :).  There is a book out called Chi Running...it demonstrates proper running form and discusses how to run to prevent injuries.  Good luck!

    P.S.  a couple of good sites....Johnbingham.com ....he's the guy who writes about being a penguin runner...i love his articles in runner's world...decent website.  Also, try out active.com and their blogs...you can talk with lots of new runners and get support.

  3. You really don't need to worry about running form. The main thing determining running speed is how much support force you have at ground contact. The fastest runners have little collapse at the ankle/knee when sprinting. As you get stronger your form will automatically improve. Do leg presses, ankle raises and hamstring curls for strength improvement.
