Good day!
Injuries are the most frequent demotivator that can take even the hottest heads off the run. Most often, it is this "fervor" does not allow the runner to avoid injuries. It is not just about and not so much about the running technique as it's about the whole complex of mistakes.
Traumatism is a multi-component thing! It means that an injury is caused by several reasons and running technique is not always the most frequent of them.
You should pay attention at the following:
- How do you begin your first trainings after a break?
Trainings should not exceed 20 minutes;
It is recommended to increase the load (intensity and extent) very slowly and gradually;
It is better to run on soft surfaces during the period of adaptation;
Running shoes with maximum protection;
To do general physical preparation exercises for strengthening of ligaments and joints;
It is better if you have objective medical information about the nature of the injury and doctor's recommendations in this regard.
If you follow the recommendations mentioned above but you are injuried again and again, then you should look at your running technique.
When analyzing a running technique, it is necessary to use video footage (preferably in a special program) and have special knowledge of this topic. If you have both, I don't see any problems to do everything by yourself. But I want to note that the topic is very difficult and often conflicting.

Recovery after "Light" Injuries
Question:
Good afternoon.
I run a little over half-year. Taking my fitness level and frequency of trainings into consideration I can say that I'm a novice, not even amateur runner.
Unfortunately, even during this short period I had injuries. A month ago I pulled ligaments of ankle joint in the result of failed landing (my leg slipped), it hurt for a long time. Now a new misfortune: a discomfort in the area of hip joint is felt for a couple of days.
These injuries are not so serious to consult a doctor, so I use ointment and do breaks in training. Now I more or less understand something about prevention but when injuries happens...Are there any working exercises or other rehabilitation methods that should be used but not after severe injuries?
Thank you!
Knee Pain, Leg Numbless
Question:
Tendon injury, ligaments injury or ligament tension?
I trained on a conrete (25 km twice or three times a week) and after that I felt knee pain and my legs became numb from knees to feet. I felt a dragging pain in a week. It's been three months since then but the knee pain doesn't go away provided that there were no sharp pain, tumours, bruise, X-ray was clear. I'd taken a course of anti-inflammatory pills (glucosamin, collagen and chondroitin in complex).
What can it be?
