There are 5280 feet in a mile. The average runners stride
length is around 2 to 3 feet. During each mile a runners
feet will strike the ground over 2000 times. When running
our feet strike the ground at approximately 2.5 times our
body weight. Most marathoners run an average of 5 to 10
miles per run. This equals about 10,000 to 20,000 foot
strikes during a daily run. Most running injuries occur
due to the repetition of running, the amount of force on the
muscles and joints with landing mixed with the combination of
an imbalance in the musculoskeletal system. At Sports
Chiropratic we can prevent a serious injury from occurring by
detecting these imbalances and unwinding the tightness that
has developed from the overuse of running. Please think of
Sports Chiropractic for yourself or anyone that you know that
doesn't want to risk an injury while training for a race,
marathon, triathlon or any sport.
