Running Pain Vs. Running Injuries | Not the Same Thing

[@ljgfb]

Most life-changing video I've ever watched. I have PTSD, and didn't realize the effect it was having on my pain. Was always taking days off because perceived injury's. Not anymore. Truly thank you.

[@jeanlee28]

This question is the one that I've ALWAYS had on my mind for all those years!!! My strong self keeps saying "C'mon! Get your daily run in! Don't baby yourself.", whereas my wimpy self is like "No, you need to listen to your achy body. Give your muscles time to recover." Thanks so much for the video!

[@cathryngrant7]

I think this is a super important topic that affects all runners at some point. Great video! Lots of information.

[@pegcaptain]

The passion from this guy.

[@davidsmith138]

Great video, not watched for a while but this one is very apt for me, every little pain is a new injury. Viewing you back catalogue now during lockdown!

[@connorcgs]

So helpful thank you! Been so worried about my knee to the point I thought about taking up cycling instead but you made me realise a lot and i cant wait to get back to running and getting them miles in!

[@photoguy9]

Excellent info! Nice to get some clarification on the topic that has an effect on all of us!

[@marksip01234]

Falling off the bike is my speciality - normally once per year - and yes i get back on the bike (in shock) and continue - then later cant sleep due to sore ribs !!! - But currently i have mild runners knee - and this video is so helpful - i need to warm up , get blood flowing - perhaps some rollering and strenthening glutes etc

[@lamppole]

Now I have no clue if I’m injured or this is my brain saying stop it and rest

[@rachelharper7571]

This is so good!! 🔥🔥🔥 and it's so me! I had a stress fracture a couple years ago and it was the worst, but now any little pain in that area and I think it's coming back! Totally mental. And I love that he said running is a skill that can be refined. So many platforms say, running is just putting one foot in front of the other...and respectfully, I've read and researched enough to know that sentiment is not entirely true. There is so much more that goes into being an efficient runner- and TRE knows what's up. It's learning optimal running form, strength training, and mobility. Great video! Love TRS too!

[@yankaitan8648]

hey im having a pain in my left lower shin right above my ankle. its only pain when pressure is applied(i found it by chance) and not pain when im running or doing anything. i went to the doctor and he told me that it may be a stress fracture as it is common in new long distance runner(idh a coach only started 6 months ago, pain started when training for my half marathon when i up my volume and intensity at the same time). My doctor told me to eat the calcium and anti inflammation pills he prescribe to me for a month and get an X ray after that because an X ray can only detect a stress fracture as it is healing. Im getting worried that it will take more than 3 months to heal, Ive already took 2 weeks of doing 10k in a week only and 2 weeks of no running. Can u share with me ur story regarding stress fracture? how long did it take to heal, ur symtoms and tips and many other things. thank you so much

[@rachelharper7571]

@@yankaitan8648 hi! I'm sorry to hear about your running pain. From my experience a stress fracture was awful-too painful to do anything. I couldn't run, I could barely walk. If I pressed on the spot of the fracture it was extremely painful. Your Dr is right, an x-ray will tell you for sure. But it took me a solid 8 weeks of no running before it was better. Good luck!

[@TheMotivationalManiac]

I alway get shin splints when starting running but this time I said I would just run till I break my leg. It’s been a month and I have crazy pain but hey I’m still going

[@Shaph5000]

This is so good! I’m a hypochondriac when it comes to my body and running.

[@piaruns7928]

😂 Me too... It's all mental but it holds me back anyway...

[@dewknow1315]

If feel pain because I went from 50 miles a week or more on the trails to 50 + miles a week on the roads . I had to mix in the bicycle into the mix to help.

[@myrunstrong]

Kelly is the man! great info here!

[@demimarc2967]

love all your videos. so happy I found your channel!!

[@kevinabate6056]

A good question is whether or not pain is going to compound into an injury or stimulate growth. If it takes more than a bowl of cottage cheese and sugar to recover, it might not be worth it outside of competition.

[@CosmicShamanAcademy]

So awesome! You guys are fantastic. It would be super cool to hear more about massage (and maybe also using heat and stretching in combination with that?). I feel like although “pain” is definitely a natural part of any growth in life, we can be so much more aligned and in tune with a bit of analytical self care thrown into the mix. Thanks again! 😃🙌🙌

[@jensonvaughan]

Very good video and information.

[@jamieberry3392]

OMG Yes! 4 years before I trained for my first full marathon, I had plantar fasciitis. It was treated and went away. I continued to run consistently over the years - was at the end of the largest amount of marathon training - 4 weeks out - and during a long run my PF came roaring back. So weird! I rested, went to physio twice and did the exercises. When race day came, the pain was gone and the race went well. Fast forward three years. I have been running lots and it was going well, until all of a sudden it wasn't. PF back for the past month and I can not seem to kick it. I have continued to run short distances. Doesn't hurt much once I get going and warm up but after my run, it hurts badly. 4 weeks of physio appts and exercises are not working well. Have had massage - felt nice for sure but no change yet. Seeing Osteopath on Monday. Fingers crossed. This video just happened to pop up in my feed. Thanks!

[@anton364094]

Brilliant!

[@waldochavez1633]

great video and a lot of useful info, but I couldn't help notice that you both coughed in your hand. Quarantine has me paranoid now smh

[@kingal89]

If you are in pain when you are just sitting around that is an indicator you may have a legitimate injury. Everything else you should assume is ligament, tendon, or muscle soreness and treat accordingly.

[@Estheticiris9748]

I have been trying to get in to running but it doesn't matter how slow I run. My lungs burn. I am using an app to set realistic goals. But, I can't get past the chest pain.

[@joelnye6399]

I got a severe pain in the lower buttock/ upper hamstring area doing sprint intervals. What is so confusing is seeing that it can be piriformis related, tendinopathy related, sciatic related etc. or even a combination of more than one. I wish they would do more videos on how to tell what the indicators are and even better- what type of time is needed to rehab a strain in that area as well. For example if we feel slight tension in a certain area but not severe pain, can we lightly train without making the affected area worse?

[@rasher331]

I would recommend learning to do single legged deadlifts with a small weight. I used to have the same problem and I started doing regular hamstring stretches. Putting the leg on a banister or something high and touching my toes etc. The secret lies in stretching consistently and not just now and again or when it hurts. Make a point of going to the gym or joining a yoga class and doing those stretches at least twice a week.

[@tommyle628]

With that kind of complex guessing, you should go to a sport doctor, licensed Chiropractor. Sit at home and guessing is the worst thing ever!

[@Marie-ve2ml]

My knee hurts while I'm running. Did he say if we should stop running for a few days and do the quads-shins exercises, or if we should continue running while adding the quads-shins exercises to our routine?

[@MiataBRG]

Excellent, really helpful. 👍

[@alicerenieri329]

Great video!!

[@runningaddiction3442]

Great 👍 and many thanks for these infos

[@DG-1111]

I started running but my knees hurt when I run. :( any advise?

[@FromTheHood2TheWoods]

Great info thanks

[@sjandrews]

Love you guys at the Run Experience. Hate to ask the obvious question - should you guys be staying 6 feet apart?

[@ohimerik]

Did you see the guy cough and Nate reacted?

[@Sir-IKON]

I'm new to running. I lost 200 lbs in a year and im that new. I tried to watch all videos I can. My question is when im running or done im extremely sore in my upper legs on the front side but it like I been working long hours and not painful like I feel concerned. is this a normal pain because of learning to use the muscles or is this pain from bad running technique?

[@syrphilipgulmatico5352]

So my shin splints might be mental? Its been happening since my stress fracture 🤷

[@DavidBrown-wp5fc]

Great info!!!! How do you change your brain’s reaction???

[@rasher331]

Becoming aware of the central governor. You need to be aware of internal chat from your brain and redirect your thoughts. A lot comes down to how motivated you are and what goals you set.

[@DavidBrown-wp5fc]

Ashling Malone I’ve been extremely driven for over a year and a half now at running a sub 90 half marathon. I’ve caused a few knee injuries by increasing mileage way too quickly... I definitely want it and am driven, I just feel limited by the physical pain caused by the mileage I want to be running. I have resorted to a huge amount of cross trainer and bike to supplement my mileage and let them recover. I experience far less pain at higher tempos and therefore can do tempo and threshold / interval work, but my long slow runs that I used to really enjoy are pretty non existent now. If I can change this by a shift in mind set I’m all ears! Genuinely. It’s a fascinating premise that makes a great deal of sense.

[@bboy6surme]

Very usefull!!

[@OliviaPryce]

I’ve been trying so hard to incorporate running into my weightloss journey but I keep getting lower back pain like instantly and I’m not sure where I’m going wrong???

[@rasher331]

Try some hamstring stretching regularly. A lot of time, tight hamstrings cause lower back pain.

[@theunknownpassenger552]

Get those gluteus stronger and stronger feet

[@kingal89]

You aren't using your glutes. Your back is actually doing much more supporting during your running than it should be. Watch some videos on proper hip positioning (I bet your butt sticks out when it should be tucked) and running form and you will no longer have back pain. I went through this myself. Best of luck to you!

[@mikemosby8000]

My calves are perpetually tight. When I roll and massage them they are sore. Does that mean I shouldn’t run until they are not sore and healed so I don’t push them to injury.

[@rasher331]

Rolling and massaging is a sore process when done properly. If you want to run a day after a massage then do a light jog. You don't necessarily have to wait until you're back to resting feeling of the legs

[@kingal89]

Focus more on your warm up and specifically in calves. Also how long have you been running? My calf muscles used to get very tight because I was focusing too much on forefoot striking instead of using my glutes. So basically my calf muscles took ALL the force from my runs. Once I focused on hip position and glute activation my calf pain went away almost overnight. Take a look at your running form and that will help potentially.

[@tommyle628]

Well, how about the effect of Endorphins and Adrenaline that temporary suppress the pain during a run or a race. My point is, listen to the body, don't take anyone else's word for your own problems.

[@ohimerik]

I wonder when this was filmed. They are so close together and when he coughed Nate made a face.

[@premierS3]

Likely months ago like the other video with this guy.

[@ohimerik]

@@premierS3 I just wanted to comment on the salty look on Nate's face when he coughed, mostly. lol.

oh you can feel pain in the middle of a fight. Sure it's blunted

This is terrible absolutely no engagement with published papers. I am essentially being asked to take someone's opinion who uses retarted language
