I ended up injured and on crutches last year. Because of that experience, I am reading everything I can about preventing running injuries. I have also taken a Good Form Running clinic to make sure my run form is as healthy as possible. Today, I read an injury prevention article in Runner's World. They lay out 10 rules for injury prevention. I am following all of them right now. I am trying to improve my stretching and my strength training. If you are a runner who has experienced injury in the past, or a new runner looking to avoid injuries, I recommend you read the article and check out the Good Form Running site.
Here are the rules. The article expands and explains them.
I
Know Your Limits
II
Listen to Your Body
III
Consider Shortening Your Stride
IV
Use Strength Training To Balance Your Body
V
RICE Works
VI
Run on a Level Surface
VII
Don't Race Or Do Speedwork Too Often
VIII
Stretch the Back Of Your Legs
IX
Cross-Training Provides Active Rest and Recovery
X
Get Shoes That Fit
