As frustrating as it may be, these setbacks are incredibly common with studies showing up to 65% of runners will experience some kind of injury in a given year.

- strategies to reduce your chances of becoming injured
- How to tell an injury from a niggle
- And how to safely get back into training if you do find yourself injured
