Does not start
Not performing warm-up and muscle relaxation exercises will increase the possibility of joint injury. Stretching and warm-up exercises before running help warm up muscles and joints, making running easier.
Exercising too hard
Avoid overexertion and try to tolerate the pain. Running or exercising while in pain can make inflammation worse and last longer.
Skip the recovery process
Give your body enough time to rest and recover between runs. This helps prevent overuse injuries and gives joints a chance to heal and recover.
Running on surfaces that are too hard
Running on a surface that is too hard will damage your joints. Hard surfaces have less ability to decelerate, leading to increased forces on the knee, hip and ankle joints.
Ignore joint pain or swelling
If constant running causes pain, joint swelling or joint instability, you must switch to gentler forms of exercise such as swimming and yoga. This will help you stay active without causing damage to your joints.
