Each year 60% of runners are injured.
Most often, the pain is labeled an overuse injury.
Subsequently athletes experience localized weakness, altered movement patterns, and lost training days. More frustrating though is the fact that once a runner, or any athlete, returns to their training it is highly likely that the injury will happen again.
It is typically understood that overuse injuries occur due to too much training. Then why can many runners log in countless miles without getting injured? How do they do it? Why aren’t they getting over use injuries?
I believe it is because the injury in fact is not always due to over training, but actually under recovery.
