Injury Prevention For Runners: Tips To Support Your Training

, , ,

As runners, we really only have 2 goals...

  • Run faster/farther than we ever have before.

  • Remain injury free.

For the last 4 years, it has been our goal at Revive Sport & Spine to be the leading sports chiropractic clinic serving the greater Salt Lake City area when it comes to running-related injuries and prevention. Having aimed for the same goals mentioned above through my own running the last 20+ years, there are few endurance sport related injuries that I have not encountered either personally or clinically.

While we field questions about running form, injury prevention, running shoes, pre-race meals, training plans, strength training, etc., some questions are better answered by those who work in that arena day in and day out.

Over that last few months, we were able to sit down with a few local specialists in sports nutrition, mental skills training, strength training, and running shoes. Our goal was to find out how each component can aid runners with injury prevention.

Break Up the Endurance Training With Some Strength!

, , , ,

Endurance athletes, especially runners, tend to shy away from strength training due to what I would consider a misunderstanding of what it can provide. After working with hundreds, probably thousands by now, of runners and triathletes over the last few years, I find very few have a regular strength plan. Some are afraid of getting hurt, some do not know how to effectively strength train, and some still have the ridiculous notion that if they lift weights they will get so bulky, the can no longer run!
