If you are keen on staying injury free then managing your pre-marathon or running program properly is vital to ensuring you can run pain free. It’s quite normal to feel some post training or competition soreness through the body however developing a nagging or constant pain could be a signal that there is something that needs more serious attention.
We strongly advise that if pain changes your running style, stop and seek proper medical advice. Altered movement patterns could result in more complications and can cause you to be out for much longer than you wish.
Think of this pain as the red light on your dashboard, drive your car continuously with this and you are likely to blow the engine or take it to the garage and have it fixed.

- Runners knee

Most common running injuries are often due to overuse, overtraining, or biomechanical issues which develop when increasing your mileage.
Keen runners tend to cringe when they hear that it’s probably a good idea to back off on the miles to allow things to recover but we can assure you that it's not not all doom and gloom.
Most runners tend to neglect the stability, strength and condition phases of their training program and this is often a contributing factor to their injury in the first place so.
This is often a good opportunity to add these aspects to your rehab and training program and will result in positive effects both short and long term. Addressing injuries sooner can help you recover a lot quicker.
