85% of injured runners keep running: what's your experience?
Hey fellow runners ! I just came across a research paper that blew my mind: 85% of recreational runners keep pounding the pavement even when injured. It made me wonder about our injury prevention strategies (or sometimes the lack thereof), especially as many of us are tackling the grind of marathon or half-marathon training which often leads to some discomfort during the training phase.I'm really curious to hear about your personal experiences:
- Ever found yourself part of that 85%? What's your story?
- How do you try to dodge injuries, especially during heavy training periods?
- Any injury prevention exercises or routines you swear by?
- Balancing training and recovery: what's your secret sauce?
Maybe we can help each other stay healthier as we chase those running goals. Can't wait to hear your thoughts!
