Of course, the main aim of the event is in raising moneyfor charities, with the fun runners in their thousands raising money for theirown respective charities.Running InjuriesBoth professionalrunners and amateurs will have had to endure the same course and the same risks.As with any sport, running injuries can affect the best of us and knowing whatto look out for and how to manage these conditions can give you the bestpossible chance of a full recovery and being able to make it to the startingline of a race.Running injuriesvary dramatically in terms of their severity depending on the extent of thedamage caused and where on the body the injury takes place. Running impactsgreatly on the lower joints, if you consider the distance you run and yourwhole body weight hitting the concrete with each step with only your trainers (andcartilage) to cushion the impact. In the long run, runners can experience amultitude of complaints, with knee injuries one of the most common.In generalrunning injuries will typically involve the lower body and be divided betweenjoint complaints and muscle complaints. Typically, the majority of injuries areas a result of overuse, whereby a person pushes themselves too much or stretchestoo much. Joint conditions can however be as a result of a degenerative conditionsuch as osteoarthritis of the knee or be as simple as slipping and twistingyour ankle.The list ofrunning injuries can be fairly extensive, ranging from a sprained ankle to ankleligament damage to calf strains, twisted knees, hamstring complaints and thelist goes on. In this article we will focus on the different types of kneeinjuries which can be sustained from running.Knee InjuriesThere are arange of knee injuries which can result from running, each with their ownlevels of severity from a pain and recovery perspective.A simplestrain typically occurs as a result of overdoing your training, or perhaps ifyou land awkwardly from a jump or slip during running. When you feel a slightpain in the knee then it could mean that you have stretched the tissues in thejoint, though have not permanently damaged them. Whilst it may be painful atfirst, simply resting for a few days and applying ice to the affected area shouldhelp in your recovery.Tendonitis isone of the less common knee injuries but also occurs as a result of overuse. Thetendonitis affects the tendon connecting the knee cap with the shin bone andcan be referred to as jumper’s knee. The patella region, or knee cap, canbecome inflamed and swollen as a result and requires rest and ice to manage theinflammation.Osteoarthritisof the knee is one of the more serious knee injuries which can be encountered. Thecondition is degenerative as it involves the gradual breakdown of cartilagewithin the knee joint, causing bone on bone contact. It is this bone on bonecontact which causes pain and hinders mobility. As knee injuries go there islittle to prevent against osteoarthritis of the knee, though early diagnosishelps in being able to manage the condition and maintain your lifestyle. Unlikesome other knee injuries whereby pain and discomfort are only felt through an activity, osteoarthritis of the knee cancause pain and discomfort when stationary and even during simple tasks likegetting out of a chair.The sportyou undertake can also influence the type of injury sustained. 40% of ACL(Anterior cruciate Ligament) knee injuries occur as a result of high impactsports such as snowboarding and motocross, though equally can occur as a resultof a bad fall or twist. The ACL is responsible for stabilising the knee givingyou support during movement, without which running would be very difficult.Running injuries are just as likely as injuries in any other sport, with anincreased risk should you fail to warm up before and cool down after exercise. Kneeinjuries are a major focus from a mobility perspective and can happen as aresult of running or even during everyday activities. In the event of anyinjury it is important that you rest and should the conditions fail to subsidewithin a few days seek a professional diagnosis.The type ofrehabilitation offered ultimately depends on the type of injury sustained. The moreserious knee injuries discussed will require physiotherapy or surgery, whilstthe minor will require rest and gentle exercise.
