Return to Running

Go to Shin Splint Information >>>


To safely resume running and prevent re-injury, use the 10% rule.
After injuries are fully rehabilitated and correct nutrition and footwear are ensured, increase training by no more than 10% per week.
This rate allows the body to adapt to mechanical stress as speed and intensity are gradually reintroduced.
Alternating easy or rest days with harder training days can also aid in preventing injury.

The following protocol, for a return to running after injury, was developed by SL James:
