Running the right way can help you avoid injuries. Research shows that poor running techniques are responsible for about 60-80% of running injuries.

Here are some important points to consider:

Foot Strike Patterns:

• If you land on your heel while running, you might be 29% more likely to get injured than if you land on the middle of your foot.

Overstriding:

• If your legs reach too far forward when you run, it can make the impact on your body 20-30% higher. This can lead to painful issues like shin splints and tendonitis.

How to Prevent Injuries:

• Try to improve your running rhythm. Aim for 170-180 steps per minute. This can reduce your chances of getting hurt by 25%.
• Work on building your strength. Strength training can help cut down your risk of injury by 50%.
