While I was running I started thinking about the number one mistake that ... I just finished up my winter run with my son and my dog. While I was running I started thinking about the number one mistake that run leaders make with their clients when it comes to running injuries. I will get to the number one mistake, but first let me give you a little background. #1 Running Injury Mistake Run Leaders Make ==#62;nbsp; CLICK HERE to watch the video the #1 Run Injury Mistake Run Leaders Make Make Sure You do This in Order to Avoid Running Injuries I make sure I do all kinds of running routes and always change my route. It can be an out and back. It can be a counter-clockwise loop. It can be a clockwise loop. The reason I end up doing this is, wherever you run it doesnrsquo;t really matter if itrsquo;s sidewalk, road, gravel, bark mulch, in a park; all of the surfaces are angled. You might not see the slope, but when put a level on the ground, all the surfaces are sloped (canted) in one direction. This is so that the water can roll down and move off the surfaces when it rains. How This Mistake Can Lead to More Running Injuries in Your Clients How does this end up effecting you when you run? It is almost like you have to create a leg length discrepancy when yoursquo;re running so with that canted surface (sloped) it ends up changing the length in one of the legs, elevating one of the legs and lowering the other leg; which ends up effecting your pelvis. One side of your pelvis ends up being higher, the other side ends up being lower. This ends up putting undue stress on different parts of the lower body, for example the knees. It ends up putting lots of stress when it comes to the back, this change in stress increases the risk of injury in the knee and the risk of injury when it comes to the lower back.nbsp; Plus, this increased stress also leads to muscular imbalances in the lower body and in the lower back. #1 Running Injury Mistake Run Leaders Make This is the number one mistake I see run leaders make:nbsp; They end up doing the same route over and over again.nbsp; They donrsquo;t end up changing the type of run route they do (out and back, or clockwise or counter-clockwise loops). Yoursquo;ve got to always change the route that you end up doing so that you minimize this leg length discrepancy due too the surfaces that you are running on. Don't be like all the other run leaders and keep your runners injury-free by following this one tip.

I learn so much from the fitness professionals that attend.nbsp; They all have great questions and I wanted to share one with you. I got a great question from one of the registrants about knees passing the toes. Commonly taught in fitness certification is the fact that you should not have the knees passing the toes.nbsp; My response to this is, it depends on the situation. The Deal on the Knees Passing the Toes ==#62;nbsp;CLICK HERE to watch the video on what the deal is with the knees passing the toes 3 Situations on the Knees Passing Toes There are three different situations to consider when it comes to the knees passing the toes. #1 - Client with a Knee Injury or Knee Pain If your client has some sort of present knee injury or knee pain, you donrsquo;t want the knees to pass the toes, period. You want to work the full range of motion of the knee, but this would be done in a non-weight-bearing situation. #2 - Client with No Knee Injuries or No Knee Pain If your client doesnrsquo;t have any knee problems or knee injuries, you want them to be able to squat all the way down and come back up. In this situation, squatting down is going to have the knees pass the toes. In an unloaded situation with no dumbbells, no barbells, no hack squat machine and no squat rack; you want your client to be able to go from standing, squat down and come back up, in the individual with the uninjured knee. #3 - Adding Load to the Squat If you start adding load (dumbbells and barbells and machines) you want them just to go to 90 degrees. When the knees pass 90 degrees in a loaded situation, it ends up putting a lot of stress and strain on the knee joint. I hope this clarifies things when it comes to the knees passing the toes. So remember, in a client that has a knee injury, or previous knee injury, you donrsquo;t want the knees to pass the toes; you want to try to keep the weight shifted on the heels in order to activate hamstrings and glutes a lot more and decrease the strain on the knee joint. In the second group of people, and the people that donrsquo;t have any kind of knee injury, you want them to be able to squat all the way down and come back up in an unloaded situation; thatrsquo;s perfectly fine for them to do. The third group, when you start loading things up and loading joints, you want to limit them to 90 degrees. Thank for reading.nbsp; Make sure to leave me a comment and let me know what you thing about the blog post.
