Nice informative diagram 📝 What do all these injuries have in common (besides being common injuries themselves 🙈)? ...That they can all be caused by sudden overuse! . We see these injuries most often in the weekend warrior or the otherwise sedentary person who suddenly begins running miles a day. Running has great cardiovascular benefits ♥️, but if our tendons and ligaments aren't used to the loading and repetitive weight bearing, overuse injury will result. The key 🔑 to prevention here is to begin and progress gradually 📈. . We can avoid exceeding our tendons' capabilities for loading through gradual progression and also through listening 👂 to our bodies. Muscle soreness may be no cause for alarm, but joint pain should not be ignored. (Side note: I personally prefer biking 🚴🚴 for my cardio - easier on the knees!)
