Running is a wonderful form of cardiovascular exercise; unfortunately it has gained a reputation for causing injury.

This is unfair, in my opinion, and in this article how to avoid common running injuries in 3 easy steps, I will show you how to avoid some of the most common ones.

The first common problem that I see in runners that can cause everything from muscle strains to tears is simply lack of a proper warm-up.

While this may not seem so bad, after all most people might think, “Well in five minutes I’ve worked up a sweat so it can’t be all bad.” While this may be true a cold and tight muscle is more apt to be injured be it a simple, pull, strain, or in the worse case and tear.

But the worst thing a lack of a proper warm-up does simply add wear and tear on the body, the body is not warm and ready to go so each time you push it to the limit by not warming up I feel you are just that much closer to an injury.

Think of it this way if you keep stretching out a rubber over and over sooner or later it is going to break, but not just from that last stretch, it was all those previous stretches that combined to do it.

One day you’ll be running and out of the blue bam, an injury will happen, most people will put it off to well it was just my time, but what they forget is all those times they were in a hurry and ran without a warm-up.

A warm up does not have to be much, walk first of 5-10 minutes progressively getting faster and faster until you’re doing a light jog and then slowly and I mean slowly over the coarse of another 10 minutes pick up your pace until you are running at the pace you want to.

The second common thing that I see runners do all the time, which over time can cause injuries is not stretching.

Again just like with warm ups, you think, well I’m running late so I’ll just skip stretching JUST this once and well we all know what happens, something comes up again and again, and well you get the idea.

Stretching out your hamstrings, calf muscles, lower back, upper back, abs, and just about any other muscle you find that is tight after a run will only take 10 minutes, yet as with warm-ups, over time you’ll see less soreness, less of those nagging injuries and I’ll bet that you’re running will improve.

Now if you’re wondering why I did not include the thighs
