Running

Many people get injured whilst training for an endurance event – that is 10km, 21 km or marathon races. It’s common to develop injury near the peak mileage part of a training programme because muscles are often tired before the training session starts.

These are the injuries you’re most likely to get when you run between 30-130 km/week:

• Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (Kneecap region)
• Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (inside of shin)
• Achilles Tendinopathy
• Plantar Heel Pain Syndrome (‘stone bruise’ feeling in heel, or arch tightness)

Bigfoot assesses your running style on the surface that you run - running
track, concrete, road or grass.   We encourage you to come in having just
trained as we want to see you in a fatigued situation.  Tired running styles
make runners open to injury and by retraining your style and recommending
specific shoes to run in, we can help you recover quickly.
