The SECRET To Running Injury-Free: The 5 SIMPLE Ways To Avoid Getting Injured

[@mikeadams6538]

I started running 50 years ago. I ran for almost 35 years before I started getting nagging hamstring/calf strains injuries almost every time I would run. I stopped running for almost 10 years and switched to others sports...ie...cycling, swimming, unicycling....Every time I would try to make a comeback to running I would reinjure myself. Injuries would occur in about 2 weeks. Well, I finally switched to 100% running on grass and have run injury free for 1 year.

This was the comment I needed to read... so thanks. I was considering a fast 5x 2k and 5x 600m session today as I'm racing a 10k in 2 weeks. I was considering whether or not to do it on grass (slower) or road (faster). Road would be ideal but as long as I put the same effort in then grass should be ok

I do about 1/2 my running on a tread mill, and I stopped getting injured. Same idea I guess. Just a softer landing pad.

Some useful points raised there. But there are of course more steps to be taken which helps including warm up before running, cool down afterwards and stretching as well.

If a runner is injured or feel an injury coming , How would you convert a run session to a swim ? Ex 45 min run to swim or a 10 x 400m repeats For these in the pool?

[@alexw6279]

Id say divide the distance and time by 6 if your swimming.

[@yolandemirza2707]

Coach Parry, can we talk about running watches, when should you wear them when not running to monitor resting heart rate, sleep etc. 24/7 or just some times? They are a helpful tool.

Thats great coach! Thanks

What about increasing training load for new runners? I’ve only started running in January and I’ve tried Couch to 5K plans but they’re too quick for me so I made my custom plan where I run (walk-run method) for a certain time and add 30 seconds of running each new session. Right now my best is running 4 minutes and 30 seconds without stopping. Is increasing my training duration by 10% every other day in a given week safe? For example, if I train for 26 minutes on Monday, is it okay to run further on Tuesday by 10% in time?

Very helpful. Thank you

I started running from last two days,my legs are in pain.i can't run more than 150m.what should I do

[@jaboneros7540]

I have to eat after I run? Can't I eat about 5 hours later when I break my 16-hour fast?

[@joshuahill956]

So I've been doing intermittent fasting for about a year, have never eaten anything after my run. Haven't noticed a difference, literally just finished a 48 hour fast this morning, ran both days while on the fast and suffered no decrease in production.

[@SergiuSalcau00]

You mention the 30-45 mins right after exercising but don t say what i should eat :))))))))))))))))).

1 simple way: become a forefoot runner instead of a heelstriker.

[@tylercarey5211]

Abruptly switching your foot strike would probably cause injury but maybe slowly over time
