5 Tips on Optimising Training Load
Training for a running event?
Increasing your training load too quickly will put you at risk of an overuse injury. These are common when people do not plan their training appropriately. Read our 5 tips to minimise such an injury.
Tip #1:
decrease injury risk by slowly building up training load
Tip #2:
Training load = time spent exercising + intensity level
Tip #3:
don’t run regularly? Start with a short duration, mostly walking and a small amount of running
Tip #4:
Training must start months before your goal event
Tip #5:
Slowly increase your training Load until you can run consistently for the distance of your event

Reduce irritation, not movement Bursitis often flares with repeated irritation or overload. This doesn't mean you should stop moving, gentle movement helps maintain confidence and support recovery. Avoid prolonged pressure This may include lying on the sore side, leaning on elbow, or sitting on hard surfaces for long periods. Simple position changes and added support can significantly reduce symptoms. Settle symptom first, then rebuild strength As pain settles, gradual strengthening improves load tolerance and helps prevent flare-ups. Recovery is about building capacity - not just reducing pain.
Learn how our physiotherapy programs combine assessment, education and supervised exercise to support long-term recovery.
