10 runners 9 injured? beginner runners stop self injuring!
Running—As the simplest and most accessible form of exercise, it has always been favored by beginner fitness enthusiasts, but it is also widely misunderstood by the public!
Running
Everyone thinks I'm very simple, no difficulty at all, and often mocks me by saying: Running,so easy! One leg in front, one leg behind, just swing them and you're good to go~
Beginner Runner
Isn't that right?
Running
Absolutely wrong! I am very nuanced and challenging. If your running posture is incorrect, not only will you miss out on a good physique, but you'll also end up with injuries and pain, almost like self-harm!
Beginner Runner
Is it really that serious?
Running
Out of 10 runners, 9 have issues with their running posture! Every year,about 70% of runners suffer physical injuries, so (take note!) correct running posture is more important than anything!
If your running posture is incorrect, you may experience uncoordinated movements, lack of cushioning upon landing, excessive joint load, and low running efficiency. Over time, this can lead to permanent physical damage, turning running into a form of self-harm!

2. Calf thickening
3. Achilles tendonitis
4. Plantar fasciitis
5. Runner's knee
6. Shin splints
7. Meniscus wear

Here are some common running posture errors. See how many you recognize!
The correct way to swing your arms is forward and backward. Swinging them side to side does not help balance the body or increase momentum.
While an inward toe position might look cute when walking, you must avoid knees caving in when running!This posture greatly increases the pressure on your knees and calves, leading to knee and ankle problems.
Overextending the knees means swinging your lower legs while running. This posture easily transfers the ground's impact force directly to the knees without cushioning, causing excessive knee stress and injury.
Running is a forward motion, and leaning backward places your center of gravity behind you, counteracting some of the forward momentum and making running very strenuous.
Running requires the coordination of the upper body, lower body, and torso. A good torso posture is crucial for stability. Hunching not only affects breathing but also greatly reduces running efficiency.
The larger your stride, the greater the impact force upon landing. This force travels through the meniscus, knee joint, hip joint, and even to the lower back, which is why many runners experience chronic meniscus wear, hip pain, and lower back pain.
Keeping the pelvis stable while running provides a stable support. If the core is unstable and the pelvis tilts, it not only reduces running efficiency but also causes uneven force distribution in the lower limbs, leading to injuries over time.
The ideal running technique is driven by the arms, with the torso remaining stable and the whole body moving forward in coordination.
The core strength area transmits power and maintains body stability.
Repeatedly lift and push off the legs to transmit power and cushion impact.
Let your hands hang naturally, half-clenched into a fist, with the forearms raised parallel to the ground and elbows slightly away from the body.
When the back leg fully extends the hip (push-off), the front leg fully flexes the hip (lifts).
Land on the outer side of the foot, cushion to the whole foot, then push off from the forefoot to leave the ground.
Do you understand after reading this? Anyway, I feel like I don't know how to run anymore after reading it!
Problem 1: The text and images are somewhat abstract, and it's hard to learn just by looking!
Problem 2: Without a professional to correct you while running, you won't know if your posture is wrong!
Problem 3: Even if someone guides you, they can't supervise you all the time while running, making it hard to develop correct habits!
