Common injuries associated with running include shin splints, runner's knee, and plantar fasciitis. These conditions often result from overuse, improper footwear, or inadequate stretching. Muscle strains and stress fractures can also occur, particularly among novice runners who increase their distance too quickly. To prevent these injuries, it’s essential to incorporate proper warm-up routines, cool down stretches, and to listen to your body's signals, scaling back intensity if needed.
