As Runner’s World reports, according to Richard J. Price, M.D., a sports physician at Rocky Mountain Orthopedic Associates in Grand Junction, Colorado, there are some common running injuries that plague frequent runners, including runner’s knee, plantar fasciitis and shin splints, just to name a few. And if you are ever faced with these injuries, “often it comes down to whether you take a little time off now or a lot of time off later.” In other words, it’s best to avoid these pains right from the start if you want to be active for the long haul.
