Shoulder Blade Aching during Running
During long-distance running, it is common for the shoulder blades to start aching. This is often a result of stress and tension causing the shoulders to creep up towards the ears, diverting energy from the legs. To counteract this, shaking the arms and focusing on loosening up the shoulders can help. It is essential to maintain good posture and relax the shoulders and face. Wearing a hydration pack may exacerbate the issue, and strengthening exercises and improved posture can be beneficial.
