Run Smart, Stay Injury-Free: Essential Tips for Preventing Running Injuries in Singapore
Running is one of Singapore’s most popular fitness activities, but up to 50% of runners experience injuries each year—often due to overtraining, inefficient running form, or inappropriate footwear. Whether you're a casual jogger or a competitive athlete, understanding how injuries occur is key to staying healthy and consistent. Common issues like knee pain, shin splints, and plantar fasciitis are often signs that your body is being pushed beyond its limits or compensating for existing weaknesses.
This blog explores the most frequent running mistakes and how they can be avoided through smarter training strategies. Learn how to manage training load, select the right running surfaces, and ensure your gait mechanics are working in your favour—not against you.
You'll also discover practical advice on injury prevention—from the importance of warm-ups and cooldowns, to integrating strength training, scheduling rest days, and maintaining hydration and nutrition. If you’re already experiencing pain, we cover how to respond using the R.I.C.E. method, and why physiotherapy can be a game-changer in recovery and performance. Our team at Milestone Physiotherapy provides expert running assessments, manual therapy, and customised rehabilitation plans to get you back on track—safely and confidently.
