Running can put a lot of stress on
your legs and lead to injuries. One injury that is very common among runners is
shin splits. Shin splits isn’t always a very serious injury but could still
cause a runner to miss a few meets and can be very painful so a runner may not
perform their best when the have shin splits. Runners may also strain or tear
some of their muscle which could take a few weeks or months to heal before they
could run again and so it could lead to an early end to their running season.
It would be important to know what
different things a runner could do to try to avoid injuries because no runner
wants their season to end early and want to keep competing and running the best
that they can. Having to miss or end a season early can also affect a runner’s
future running career because normally the more you run the better you continue
to get so if you miss a season you could start further behind then those who
were never injured and haven’t had to miss a season so it can be really important
to take all the steps that you can before you get injured to avoid any
injuries.
A few teammates on my track team
are injured right now and have to sit out for a while. Being injured doesn’t
only affect the runners it also can affect the whole team. One of the runners
on my track team who is injured is a really good eight hundred runner and because
of her injury someone else has to fill in on our four by eight hundred relay
and now the relay may not be able to make it to drake to compete as they did
last year so the people on her relay are also affected by her injury.
Learning ways or steps a runner can
take to avoid injuries can be really important to know because if a runner is
able to avoid injuries they can have a very successful season and more successful
seasons to come. If a runner can avoid injuries it also helps the success of
the whole team. (424)
