Three ‘Must-Have’ Injury Prevention Habits

1) Daily work for symmetry. Over 80% of all running repetitive motion injuries
are unilateral injuries, injuries on one side of the body. A critical way to avoid
these is to ensure your muscles are symmetrically loose, relaxed and without
inflammation – i.e. symmetrically pliable.

2) Use the 80/20 rule, or adjusted 40/40/20 rule. A standard practice to help
prevent injuries is to train using the 80/20 rule, where 80% of your weekly
volume is easy running and 20% at a higher intensity.

3) Carbs for Recovery. Marathoners know that to prepare for your long runs, and
for race day, you must ensure you are eating plenty of carbohydrates. Having
carbs after you run is an often neglected practice yet is just as critical as ‘carb-
loading!’
