Here are a few of our key top tips for avoiding and managing running pains as we head into the warmer months and get out on the track more often.

1. Build KM's slowly

"Too much, too soon" is the phrase you don't want to hear.

Give your tissues the chance to build tolerance.

2. Bone pain = Serious

Don't push through bony pain that gets worse as you run.

Bone stress injuries are common and require management.

3. Don't forget, strength!

Most running injuries are the result of tissues not being strong enough to tolerate the loads going through them.

Stronger tissues get injured less.

4. Pounding the pavement

Running is tough on the body, but when progressed well and with the strength to support it, you can do amazing things!
