Hands up if you have never had a running injury. WOW! You lucky buggers. There are not many of you though.
Like many runners I’ve had the misfortune of a few injuries, more than some, less than others. Some were short and fleeting and others seemed to last a lifetime (yes the dreaded Plantar Fasciitis).
Through various injuries (running and mountain biking) I have learnt a lot about my body, how it responds to training and stress load and how it recovers. As a result I’ve developed a few strategies to manage and minimise the impact of injuries.
