Modifying Programming for Injuries
When modifying running programs for injured athletes, the focus should be on reducing the load to facilitate healing while still allowing them to engage in running. One effective strategy is to spread out running days, allowing for extra recovery time between sessions. For example, shifting from back-to-back running days to spaced-out intervals can significantly alleviate strain on injured tissues. Additionally, incorporating walking intervals or substituting running with non-weight-bearing activities like cycling can further help maintain fitness levels without exacerbating injuries.
