Running Injury Advice

At Run and Become, we are all running enthusiasts. In these pages we will share running tips that we have collected over the years.

Back Pain in Runners

Back pain is such a common problem. However, unless it is severe, running can really help. Sometimes just the energising movement of going for a run can be just what our body needs. After hours of sitting at a computer, or at the other end of the spectrum, standing for hours on end; the body craves variety of movement.

Injury Prevention for Marathon Runners

The last thing a runner wants is to be struck by an injury, bringing those stress-relieving runs to a halt. Here are some guidelines to help you stay injury-free while training for a marathon. From wearing the right kit, to stretching, hydration, and even ice baths, check out this handy guide for keeping running injuries at bay.

Shin Splints and Running

Shin splints can come for a wide variety of reasons. The definition of shin splints is pain or tenderness running up the inside, and sometimes the outside of the shin, from the ankle to the knee. Often the pain comes from a tightness in the calf, which then pulls round to the front of the shin.

Running Stretches

Stretching after a run is an essential investment in further training. Careful stretching lengthens the muscles and keeps them elastic to that they respond more willingly when running. Always warm up first before stretching, as stretching a cold muscle can potentially cause injury rather than helping to prevent it.
