Runners get injured and it can be frustrating, but with the right approach, injuries can be minimized. In this video, we dive into the primary cause of running injuries—training errors such as increasing volume or intensity too quickly and not allowing sufficient recovery. We also cover essential factors like nutrition, sleep, cross-training, warm-ups, cool-downs, and the role of shoes and strength training in injury prevention. Learn practical tips, supported by science and expert insights, to train smarter and stay injury-free.
