Bone Stress Injuries in Long Distance Runners

11 February, 2025

Bone stress injuries (BSIs) are common, particularly among long-distance and high-volume runners. These injuries should always be considered as a potential source of pain, as they can significantly affect a runner's ability to train and perform. Running is a highly popular form of exercise with numerous health benefits, such as improved cardiovascular and mental health. However, like all forms of physical activity, running comes with its own set of risks.

They are often linked to factors such as an increase in training volume, insufficient rest, training errors, biomechanical issues, or nutritional deficiencies. Understanding the development of BSIs and how to prevent them is essential for any runner aiming to maintain optimal long-term health and performance.
