ADVICE

Running with Injuries

  • Almost never tell a runner to stop running entirely due to injury.
  • Instead, modify training or add strength training to complement running.
ADVICE

Hurt vs. Injured

  • Differentiate between being hurt and being injured; soreness is common, but worsening pain with movement needs attention.
  • If hurt, not injured, ensure proper mobility training and strength training complement your runs.
ADVICE

Strength Training for Runners

  • Strength training for runners should complement the sport, not necessarily involve maximal lifts.
  • Focus on movements like heel-elevated squats, reverse Nordic curls, and step-ups to strengthen relevant muscles without bodybuilding.
