As runners, we often just want to go faster, but that means taking care of ourselves. Speed work leads to injury, it’s a fact of life when you’re trying to run faster. So what happens when you’re injured, and how can we do the right kinds of speed workouts with the correct amount of recovery? We talked to Krista L. today (a fellow dailymiler) about speed work and injury prevention.
Thanks for the good info. I’m ramping up my half-marathon training and can’t agree more with adding in cycling as a cross training method. A day off from the impact nature of running while still strengthening leg muscles and conditioning cardio is a very good thing.
To Kathy’s comment about the leg pounding on hill descents – I prefer a controlled, rhythmic descent to avoid injury, but that’s probably because I’m getting older and can’t beat myself up like I did in college.
