Overuse injuries can occur from:
As a result of training/movement errors, overuse injuries are more common but harder to spot by the athlete. And they also build with a slow creep that embeds itself into your gait.
Therefore, overuse injuries can have longer build-up than quick onset injuries such as sprains/ strains of ligament or muscle.
These movement error-related injuries often return without gait coaching. And often have associated peak-and-trough sensation which lures the athlete into a false sense that the condition is either gone or is getting better.
The most common overuse injuries are patellofemoral pain (pain under the knee cap) syndrome (runner’s knee), iliotibial band friction syndrome (ITB), plantar fasciitis, meniscal injuries, tibial stress syndrome and patella tendonitis.
With risks like the above, we decided there was a purpose of Running education through the RunFit program.
