TOP 5 WAYS TO PREVENT RUNNING INJURIES

Unless you get hit by a car or attacked by a dog while running, most running injuries occur from repeated microtrauma—the repeated small stress of each foot landing on the ground.

1) Train smart.
Learn how to optimize your training and train at more effective levels of effort. The goal of training is to obtain the greatest benefit while incurring the least amount of stress, run as slow as you can to meet the purpose of the workout. If running at 8-minute mile pace meets the purpose of the workout, there’s no reason to run at 7:45 pace. Training smart also means progressing at the right rate, following a ruthlessly methodical and systematic plan, with each cycle of training building on what came before so that the entire program is seamless.

2) Don’t increase volume and intensity at the same time.
When you increase volume, decrease intensity. When you increase intensity, decrease volume.

3) Don’t make your long run so much longer than any other run of the week.
Ideally, the long run shouldn’t be more than about a third of the weekly mileage. So, if the long run is 10 miles, the weekly mileage should be at least 30 miles. If the long run is 20 miles, the weekly mileage should be at least 60 miles.

4) Place adequate time between workouts to recover.
The most optimal training program—the one that is going to make you run faster with less risk for injury—includes a correctly timed alternation between stress and recovery. If you do a hard workout when your body is still recovering from the stress of the previous workout, you’ll experience greater fatigue, and it will take longer to recover. If you keep doing workouts before recovery has occurred, you’ll end up in a chronic state of under-recovery, and your performance will spiral downward. If, however, you do workouts at the most optimal time following the recovery from the initial stressor, when your body is supercompensating, your fitness will spiral upward, and your performance will improve.

5) Work 𝘰𝘯 your training not 𝘪𝘯 your training.
Working 𝘰𝘯 your training means developing a system of training that is specific to you. It means developing a system that works.

Health tips: Chronic dehydration may be a contributing and overlooked factor in many illnesses. Most healthy people may need one half of their body weight (in pounds) in equivalent ounces of pure water daily. (100 ounces for a 200-pound person.) An additional 8 ounces is required for each 30 minutes of strenuous exercise, and an additional 4 ounces for each 30 minutes outdoors above 80 degrees. Coffee, caffeinated soda, and tea do not contribute to hydration, and equivalent measures of water should be consumed to compensate when caffeine is consumed. More water may be required during the three D's - dieting, diarrhea, or detox. Consult a physician for water and electrolyte requirements under these conditions.
