Articles — Hal Higdon's Half Marathon Training

Running guru and best-selling author Hal Higdon, a Runner’s World contributing editor, admits that he is inclined to tell beginning runners to just go out and run and not worry about whether or not they look good as runners. But he agrees with the veteran runners and believes based on his own experiences and those of Coach Roy Benson that there are eight areas to consider when it comes to good running form.
