Running Injuries: Injury Prevention Check-List

January 5, 2011 by Jean Massé

Running Injuries: Injury Prevention Check-List

Before an airplane leaves the airport for its next destination, the pilot, ground crew and mechanics run through a check-list to identify how the plane is functioning and if there is any reason the plane should not take off. Running, whether for training for a goal race or as a form of general exercise, can be approached the same way.
Below is a check-list which you can complete that helps you organize your running program, identify areas that could lead to potential injury and help you identify characteristics about an injury before it gets worse. Questions 1-12 are helpful in organizing your running program, 13-16 can be used when an injury is starting; take this information with you if you need to seek medical care for a running related issue. It will assist in getting right to your issue and getting you back running!

If you have questions about one of the questions or about injury prevention let me know. I check the blog regularly.
