If you, a friend or family member is starting to get into running or is going from the couch to a 5K, we know where they should start and what gear is best for beginning a healthy, happy run regimen.

Studies have shown that running can help prevent obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, some cancers, and a host of other unpleasant conditions.
