The IT band crazies got me in their grasp for a long time! But I (think) I’ve finally broken out with stability training & regular foam/tennis ball rolling! The right balance of strength and flexibility is key…but so elusive sometimes!!!
My biggest klutz injury was tripping over dirt (literally…this was on the least technical section of the whole trail) in a trail race, wiping out, and busting up my ankle pretty solidly. Four weeks before my target marathon. Not my brightest move….
I’ve had MANY stress fractures!! My husband always says its because I run too hard too often. I’m finally starting to believe he might be right and trying to run easier and longer again!!!
oh no, i’m sorry! 🙁 i do know some people are a bit more susceptible to them BUT definitely making sure to be cautious in the training is really important.
My shins are my running injury cycle! I have been working on getting out of this cycle by adjusting my mileage where needed, constantly listening to my body and backing off when necessary, icing and stretching like a fiend. *Knock on wood* things have been going smoothly so far.
