"Only those who train with pain are injured"
"What hurts is not running, but running badly"
“The body alerts you long before the injury occurs. It gives you signals. Sometimes he yells at you and you don't listen or you become deaf "
“Only when we are kids do we run with the proper technique. Most little kids are perfect examples of biomechanics. Our body changes because of the stress we put it through. We run contractured from head to toe. To run with the right technique you have to first learn to relax”
“How many of us seek to determine the cause of the problem when we have a discomfort such as a contracture or pain that seemingly came out of nowhere? "It's going to go away" or "I'll warm up and it'll go away" is the predominant thought, even though deep down we know that there is a latent problem, lurking waiting to strike.
“Your advisor must be a runner. Without first-hand experience running, this person will not have enough understanding (vision) to help you. Of course, this does not mean that all the advice you receive from other runners will be sound - just that there is a greater chance that it is correct. "
“Your counselor should be able to discuss in detail the genetic, environmental, and training factors that are likely to have caused your injury. If the doctor is not able to do it, (both, patient and doctor) will not be able to get anywhere "
“If I were unable to heal your injury, your counselor should be as distressed about this failure as you are. The person from whom you seek help must understand the importance that running has for you. From the get go, it is patently ridiculous to accept recommendations from someone who is against you racing“
"Your counselor shouldn't be expensive, as most running injuries can be cured without resorting to expensive treatments."
