Why do running injuries keep coming back?
- Pain relief isn’t full recovery: Getting out of pain is only the Restore phase; runners need to Reload and Optimize capacity to avoid recurring symptoms.
- Build an “injury buffer”: Maintain injury-specific strength, progressive loading, and running exposure beyond symptom resolution so the body can handle training spikes, terrain changes, and racing demands.
- Address the full context: Recurrent injuries can reflect training errors, insufficient capacity, proprioception gaps, and behavioral factors such as underfueling, exercise compulsion, or social pressure - not just a weak muscle or painful tissue.
