Running injuries often start small. A sore spot that you ignore for a few weeks can become a stress fracture or a tendon problem.
Five quick checks
- Replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles
- Add distance slowly, about 10 percent a week
- Pay attention to pain that is in one exact spot
- Stretch your calves and Achilles after every run
- Take rest days seriously
When to see us
Pain that gets worse during a run, swelling, or pain at night are signs to get checked. We can find the cause and help you train smarter.
