Start running
If you're planning to go for a run, it's important to know that unfortunately, running can cause injuries. Here are a few common injuries to watch out for:
Shin splints
This is a painful condition on the inside of your shin. It can be caused by overuse of the muscles and tendons in this area.
Runner's knee
This is a common injury characterized by pain around the kneecap. It can be caused by overuse of the knee or by improper leg alignment during running.
Achilles tendon injury
This is a painful condition at the back of your ankle, caused by overuse of the Achilles tendon. This can be caused by too much running or by not properly warming up or cooling down the muscles.
Plantar fasciitis
This is a painful condition on the bottom of your foot, caused by overuse of the plantar fascia that connects the heel to the toes. This can be caused by too much running on hard surfaces.
Free gait analysis
A running analysis is an evaluation of your posture and movements while running. It can tell you whether you have overpronation, underpronation, or neutral foot strike, and whether you might have an abnormal gait that requires extra support. With this information, our sports advisors in the running department can help you choose the right shoes that suit your individual running style and needs.
Choose the right shoes
Choosing the right shoes can not only lead to better performance and more comfort during running, but it can also help prevent injuries. By choosing shoes that match your unique running style and needs, the risk of overuse injuries to muscles and joints can be reduced.
So, if you are looking for new running shoes, definitely consider getting a running analysis. It can help you make the right choice and ensure a comfortable and safe running experience. Happy running!
