The majority of us never learned how to run properly. We began walking as children and running after that. Most people who take up running for exercise do so because they can just lace up their shoes and go!
Why do injuries happen if running is natural? We may be able to run, but that does not mean we are efficient at it. However, many people seek instruction on how to run from friends, books, and running magazines. Because everyone runs a little differently, such advice is frequently problematic. One runner, for example, employed a heel strike while another used a midfoot strike. Neither is incorrect in and of itself; it all depends on several factors, including foot type and related biomechanics.
If you’re serious about making significant modifications to your running gait, you should work with a professional running coach. A coach will be able to see you run objectively and make relevant recommendations.
There are also situations when mechanical instability affects your jogging. It makes the muscles work harder, which can result in overuse disorders like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and shin splints, as well as weariness. Custom foot orthotics are effective in certain situations.
