Running injury mythbusting
Straight answers to the questions I get asked every week — including the ones where the honest answer is “we don’t really know”.
-
Are your running shoes causing your injury?
Almost certainly not. It’s the first thing runners blame and very rarely the culprit — here’s what the evidence shows, and what to look at instead.
-
Should you ice a running injury?
Probably not — and the bag of frozen peas may be slowing you down. What the evidence says about ice, inflammation and what to do instead.
Got a question I haven’t answered?
Run happy and injury free.
