🏃‍♂️ 3 drills to reduce running injury risk

🦵 1️⃣ Single-leg control drill

Why:
Improves hip stability and reduces knee valgus

How:
Single-leg squat or step-down
✔️ Knee tracks over toes
✔️ Pelvis stays level

🧠 Better control = better load distribution

Shape

🦶 2️⃣ Calf capacity drill

Why:
The calf–Achilles complex absorbs massive loads during running

How:
Straight- and bent-knee calf raises
✔️ Slow tempo
✔️ Progress to single-leg
✔️ Add load over time

📈 Capacity protects tissue

Shape

🏃‍♀️ 3️⃣ Single-leg bounds

Why this drill matters:
Running is essentially a series of single-leg hops.
If the body can’t:

Absorb force on one leg

Control the knee and ankle on landing

Reproduce force efficiently

…injury risk goes up.

How:
Single-leg forward or lateral bounds
✔️ Soft, quiet landing
✔️ Knee stable (no collapse)
✔️ Stick the landing before rebounding

🧠 This trains shock absorption, stiffness control, and elastic return — all key for resilient running.

Shape

💡 Key takeaway

Injury risk drops when runners can control load, absorb force, and repeat it well.

🏃‍♂️ Most common running injuries we see
(and why they keep coming back 👀)
If you run, you’ve probably met at least one of these…
🦵 1. Runner’s knee (Patellofemoral Pain)
Front-of-knee pain
⬆️ Worse with hills, stairs, prolonged sitting
🔑 Often linked to load spikes + hip control deficits
🦶 2. Achilles tendinopathy
Morning stiffness
Pain with speed work or increased mileage
❌ Tendons hate boom–bust loading
🦴 3. Shin splints (Medial tibial stress syndrome)
Diffuse shin pain with running
⬆️ Rapid training or surface changes
📈 Poor load tolerance
🦶 4. Plantar heel pain
First-step pain in the morning
❌ Not just “inflammation”
✔️ Usually a load + calf capacity issue
🦵 5. IT band pain
Outer knee pain
Often worse mid–late run
🔑 Hip + trunk control matters
🦴 6. Stress reactions / stress fractures
Persistent, localised pain
Pain at rest or at night 🚩
Needs early assessment
🦵 7. Hamstring tendinopathy
Deep buttock or upper thigh pain
Common with faster running + hills
🔑 Load + speed exposure issues
🧠 Here’s what actually matters:
✔️ Rapid mileage increases
✔️ Sudden speed or hill work
✔️ Strength deficits
✔️ Poor recovery
📌 Most running injuries aren’t structural failures.
They’re load-management problems.
🏃‍♀️ Running with pain?
Don’t guess. Get assessed properly.

Here’s the key difference ⬇️

🔹 Stretching
Can help short-term stiffness, but doesn’t build tendon capacity on its own.

🔹 Strengthening 
Improves the tendon’s ability to handle load, which is what reduces pain long term.

👉 Stretching can feel good
👉 Strengthening changes things

Most Achilles pain improves when both calf muscles are gradually strengthened.

If stretching alone hasn’t helped your Achilles, it’s usually a sign the tendon needs progressive loading, not more stretching.

Why we sometimes use isometric calf holds for Achilles pain 🦶💪

These might look simple, but they’re very effective, especially in early-stage rehab.

Here’s why ⬇️

🔹 Build resilience
Holding load helps the tendon tolerate force again without excessive movement.

🔹 Safe tendon loading
Isometrics load the calf and Achilles without repeated stretching, which can irritate a sensitive tendon.

🔹 Reduced stretch = safer start
Less ankle movement means less strain through the tendon while it’s settling.

🔹 Helpful if ankle mobility is limited
If you lack dorsiflexion, this position reduces tendon strain and heel pain while still building strength.

👉 Hold strong, steady positions
👉 Stay within a pain-tolerable range
👉 Progress load as symptoms improve

Isometrics aren’t the end goal, but they’re a great place to start.

Why Achilles pain often lingers 🦶⚠️

Achilles pain can be frustrating, and one big reason it hangs around is this ⬇️

🔹 Too much rest
Unlike muscles, tendons don’t like rest. They get weaker and less tolerant when load is avoided.

That’s why graded loading, like single-leg calf raises, is a key part of recovery.

👉 Tendons need consistent, progressive load
👉 Rest may settle pain short-term but slows long-term recovery
👉 Strength improves tendon capacity

This doesn’t mean pushing through sharp pain, it means the right load at the right time.

If your Achilles pain isn’t improving or keeps coming back, a tailored loading plan can help.

Gym mistakes causing shoulder pain
- Training through pain
- Poor technique
- EGO lifting
- Lack of warm-up

Gym mistakes that cause shoulder pain 🚨🏋️‍♂️

Shoulder pain in the gym isn’t bad luck, it’s often down to how you’re training.

Here are the big mistakes we see ⬇️

🔹 Training through pain
Pain is a signal, not something to ignore. If reps look like this, your shoulder isn’t coping with the load.

🔹 Poor technique
Uncontrolled presses or benching can overload the shoulder when the joint isn’t stacked or stable.

🔹 Ego lifting
Lifting more than you can control shifts stress onto tendons and joints, not strength gains.

🔹 Skipping a warm-up
Cold shoulders + heavy loads = higher risk. A few minutes of prep can make a big difference.

✅ Lower the load
✅ Clean up technique
✅ Warm up properly
✅ Train pain-aware, not pain-blind

If shoulder pain is stopping your progress, it’s fixable with the right plan.

3 rotator cuff exercises you can do at home
1. Banded rotations
2. V walks
3. Hammer press (you don’t have to rotate the cuff to fire them up)

3 rotator cuff exercises you can do at home 🏠💪

You don’t need fancy equipment to train your rotator cuff, just simple, controlled loading.

Try these 3 ⬇️

🔹 Banded rotations
Great for activating and strengthening the rotator cuff through a comfortable range.

🔹 V-walks
Helps build shoulder control and endurance while keeping the arm in a safe position.

🔹 Hammer press
A shoulder-friendly press that loads the shoulder without needing to rotate the cuff to get it working.

👉 Keep movements slow and controlled
👉 Work in a pain-tolerable range
👉 Progress load gradually

Strong rotator cuffs help support lifting, sport and everyday shoulder use.

If shoulder pain keeps coming back or limits your training, a tailored rehab plan can help.
