How many are guilty of running through pain? Like real pain?
We have all been there. We start out, maybe we have some initial stiffness, tightness, even mild discomfort but we think “ah, it will die down as my body warms up”. And then, while we are on our run pain sets in. We think “I can tough this out”. Once we get home maybe the pain dies down even more and we think “ok, guess it was nothing”.
So this is what I want to address with everyone as we map out our race/event year...do not ignore the pain. Pay attention to it. Why? Because if we don’t it will lead to an injury that could wind up setting you back even further than you may realize.
Let’s look at all the races (virtual of course) that you did last year. Think of how many of those races did you have pain or discomfort somewhere in your body. Are you with me?
This is the time to address those imbalances. Those weaknesses that lead to the injuries you sustained last year. I have created 5 tips for runners to help keep everyone injury free so you can continue to do what you love without hesitation or worry. These were also designed for every type of runner - beginner or seasoned and regardless of age.

0:00-0:46 - Intro by Dr. Heather
0:46-1:30 - #1 Tip: Myofascial Release - use a foam rolling or a massage ball AFTER (that’s very important to know) then you will see a decrease in those problematic areas
1:32-2:32 - #2 Tip: Muscle Imbalance - know which muscles are not working correctly so you can focus on correcting those muscle imbalances through various strength training exercises.
2:33-3:13 - #3 Tip: Rest/Recovery - If you are new to running you may benefit more from an actual rest day. And if you are a seasoned runner you may benefit more from a recovery day or a combination of the two depending on what type of event you are training for.
3:15-4:11 - #4 Tip: Proper Footwear - Understanding how our foot and ankle work with each other is extremely helpful when figuring out the proper footwear. For those that are beginner runners this is something I would highly recommend you look into. This will help decrease your chances of shin splints and possibly even tight calves from hindering your running journey.
4:13-5:07 - #5 Tip: Nutrition - It is important to know how what you eat affects your body in terms of inflammation build up. By eating a clean, healthy diet your body is less likely to have an inflammatory build up inside.
