Running too muchWhy It’s Bad: While it might sound odd to run less as a means of running farther and faster, most runners lack balance in their training. “Runners like to run, then run more,” says Sue Falsone, director of Performance Physical Therapy for Athletes’ Performance. When your workout becomes one-dimensional, your injury risk spikes. The Fix: Cross training—varying your methods of exercise with activities like swimming and biking. Stay off your feet at least two days a week—one day off in which you focus solely on recovery (stretching, yoga, massage, foam roll, etc.) and another day or two on the bike or in the pool. Cheers and keep running!
