Many runners have found that a handful of preventative measures can be taken to keep them on their feet and training at full speed.

• Proper footwear: is vital for injury free training. Feet are unique and each person will have different foot structures. Be sure to find the right shoe for your feet. Also, shoes, like tires, have a set mileage and should be replaced with the first signs of breakdown.
• Proper form is key if you want to stay on the track. It is often a good idea to seek coaching for training of this nature.
• Targeted Strength Training: can help prevent injuries as imbalanced muscle strength will cause strain and stress on unnatural locations that are not able to withstand repetitive stress.
• Yoga is becoming a highly used training implementation which increases flexibility and strengthens stabilizing muscles.
• Topical pain relief that combines a variety of beneficial ingredients which work with the body to relieve pain while decreasing recovery time is often a good idea.
