Our feet serve only one purpose: to walk, jump, and run. We are capable of such, but some of us do so easily than others. Those individuals are considered natural athletes by us. What it implies is that they were born with better mechanics than the rest of us.
Many runners dislike stretching. All athletes including those who would benefit from stretching, do not dedicate enough time to doing so. Stretching accomplishes several goals. It allows the muscle fibers to gradually “warm-up” before putting them under stress during activity. Stretching aids in the removal of lactic acid buildup in muscles following an exercise. Stretching is a vital part of improving your fitness and avoiding running injuries.
There are several different running shoes to choose from that it is overwhelming. Motion Control, Neutral, and Stability are the three categories of running shoes. Your foot type determines which shoe is best for you.
Not all runners have foot pain, NOT all runners require orthotics. An orthotic is a custom insole used to correct biomechanical problems with the foot and ankle. The purpose of an orthotic is to offer a stable base of support for the lower extremity while also increasing efficiency.
Not all athletes suffer from foot pain; it is the most prevalent injury in the field. Shoe choice, foot type, training, and running surface influence the likelihood of a runner acquiring a foot injury.
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!
