Injuries can be a runners worst nightmare and at times it’s difficult to know exactly the extent of the problem. Often we can run through niggles and the pain will simply disperse on it’s own.

However if the injury is more serious then sometimes getting a correct diagnosis can save you time in the long run. You don’t want to be pushing yourself and making an injury worse when rest is the only way to recover.

There are lots of experts out there that can help and often paying a bit of money is well worth the investment. Your regular GP is unlikely to be the best person to correctly diagnose the problem.

Some of our runners have left their own running tips when it comes to injury advice. They’ve been through this themselves so it’s worth listening to what they have to say.
