(Aging Untold) - Whether it's a lunch-break jog or training for a marathon, an injury can stop a runner's progress.

Aging Untold expert Amy O'Rourke said proper footwear is the foundation for avoiding injury.

"Your shoes are supporting your feet, which is supporting your body. So, you want to make sure that you're getting the right shoes so that you're walking properly. You're not creating an injury, which can happen if you're not wearing the right shoes. You do not want to underestimate that," O'Rourke said.
