How Your ”Workout” Is Hurting You As A Marathon Runner

How does working out hurt a runner?

As soon as a runner feels pain the first thing they do is run to do strength training. And it’s the WORST thing any athlete or anyone in pain can do. You build that dysfunction you are operating on. Worse. You MUST address the movement pattern to stop the pain, or you build it stronger. 

Most trainers do not have injury education, it's not what they are there for so they don't have to know. BUT it's important that we all know our limits in the health profession. Many trainers send my clients to get them “fixed” and then back into training. That is a trainer that understands the difference. And the EGO is out of it. 

Training is not conditioning. 

Muscles/workouts are EASY, #RunPainFree addresses the JOINT level, which dictates muscle.  

Loading a pattern solidifies that mechanic, and therefore the injury is stronger. 

When you bypass the joint and go after the muscle, you create more injuries. 

EGO has no place when it comes to injuries and people's bodies. Sadly, TOO many in this health industry have egos bigger than they admit. And This habit tends to hurt people. 

• Foam roll first no matter what you feel! It will release the strain (go listen to my IT BAND podcast) 
• Backtrack when you first felt the pain
• Can you map the chain reaction to your pain
• Create the movement that hurts most
