Another injury prevention technique that took me years to figure out is straight forward: if you run loops – run both ways!
There are many different kinds of loops, the one I run in Brooklyn Prospect Park (on days there are no pro-terrorist protests) has a slight but pronounced bank.
You don’t feel any impact if the distance is short, but when you do multiple 10mi+ runs a week – there’s a certain strange feeling in the feet.
After I started running both ways the feeling went away, so it definitely works for me. Hopefully it helps someone’s feet as well, keep on running!
