Always Warm Up

“Running is typically associated with leg, knee and foot pain, but runners can also experience upper body discomfort in the neck and shoulders. Most upper body pain related to running is caused by poor form or too much tension, which can trigger neck and shoulder pain. For example, hunched or rounded shoulders combined with swinging your arms too wide can trigger pain. Remember that subtle movements when you run may seem harmless, but these repetitive actions over time can cause muscle spasms, a stiff neck, tense muscles and even a rotator cuff injury. A few gentle yoga stretches before a run is a great way to warm up.” – Carlos
