Running injuries
Explore the 43 most common running injuries, sorted by body area. Each guide details the causes, symptoms and appropriate treatments.
The vast majority of running injuries are mechanical overload conditions: the stresses applied to tissues exceed their capacity to adapt. Managing this mechanical stress is therefore essential for both prevention and treatment.
Biomechanical factors
Body shape, running technique, muscle deficits, stiffness.
Training factors
Volume, intensity, progression, recovery.
Personal & equipment factors
Age, history, sleep, shoes, running surface.
A comprehensive approach
Not just the pain: lasting recovery depends on identifying the contributing factors.
