- When you are running your body absorbs up to ten times your body weight with each foot strike.
- Studies show that up to 79% of runners develop an overuse injury in a year and 70% of these injuries will reoccur.
- Injuries to the knees, feet and lower legs make up 72% of all running injuries.
- The major cause of overuse injury is biomechanical alignment issues and poor running technique.
