Running Matters #226

Posted on 24 Nov, 2015


Running Matters #226: Tread softly. If your feet are slapping down, your lower leg muscles will be working overtime to reduce impact. This can put you at risk of shin splints and other lower leg injuries. To fix this issue, think about running like a ninja. Keep a light quick step and imagine you are running over egg shell. Bonus, your competitors won't hear you coming.
