The objectives of the study are comparing the risk of injury and the running performance among novice runners with two different training programmes. The first programme has less running volume but more strengthening than the second one which is a normal running programme with no specific strengthening program. This study will provide necessary information for a multicentric study to come. The information needed for this bigger study are the sample size, the attrition rate, the drop-out rate and the feasibility of the timeline.
