Whether you’ve just started running or are a true veteran, you’ve probably become acquainted with the aches and pains that result from regularly pounding the pavement. While it would be great to run pain free, no matter how long the distance…we all know this isn’t reality. So, how can you tell the difference between what’s normal and what should be checked out by a doctor?

You’ve been training, getting in those miles, stretching, eating right, getting rest and the race you’ve been gearing up for is a week out. What do you do?!

I’m proud to say that in all my years of running, I’ve never had a running-related injury. However, for the majority of runners, it’s a different story: The longer someone is a runner, the more likely he or she is to get injured. At least half of all runners deal with at least one injury per year, and 25 percent of runners are injured at any given time.

You’ve done your training. You’ve put in your time. Now it’s time to finally gear up for race day. Whether it’s your first 5k or your hundredth marathon, you never know completely what to expect. What if it rains? What if you’re late? What if your dog ate your lucky running shoes? Of course there are some things we have no control over, but we want you to be as prepared as possible so you can enjoy the day and of course have a great race!
