Keeping Injury Free Whilst Jogging

29/05/2009 by admin.

Sometimes the hardest thing about exercising and in particular jogging is to keep free from injury.  Here are some tips to help keep those injuries at bay:

• Buy the best quality trainers that you can and replace them every 600 miles.
• Always warm up and do some mobility exercises to warm up the joints
• Build up your distance gradually, start with 5 or 10 minutes and increase slowly.
• Don’t ignore niggles and injuries - they could get worse
• Allow yourself some rest days to allow your muscles to recover
• Try to keep your running on tarmac to a minimum.  Instead run on trails, grass, treadmills or a running track.
