【解析】

本文是一篇说明文，介绍了跑步需要避免的几个误区。

1.上文说很多人在不知道如何建立一个健康的日常习惯的情况下就开始跑步，下文又说避免以下几个误区来增加你跑步成功的机会，此处需要一个承上启下的过渡句，故G项（很多人会犯一些常见的错误，这可能会影响训练或导致受伤）符合语境。

2.根据本空前的“Runners need to ease into the sport before increasing the distance”可知，在增加距离之前，跑步者需要放松地投入这项运动，此处是说这样做的好处，故F项（它将有助于减少受伤的风险，所以你可以继续你的常规跑步）符合语境。

3.根据本段内容，特别是“Follow a training plan that includes rest days.”可知，要安排几天休息时间，本段讲的是一个误区是坚持每天都跑步而不安排休息时间，故A项（不休息）符合语境。

4.根据本空后的“especially for beginners whose muscles and bones haven’t yet been conditioned for such intense exercise.”可知，特别是对于那些肌肉和骨骼还没有适应这项运动的初跑者，此处是说跑步是很有难度的，故D项（跑步是一项要求很高的运动，对你的身体来说真的很难）符合语境。

5.根据本段小标题“Comparing yourself to others”可知，跑步的一个误区是拿自己和别人比较，此处讲的还是关于和他人比较的话题，故E项（刚开始的时候，很难不把自己与别人比较）符合语境。
