I'm a newbie runner. Been involved in fitness for many years, running not so long. After a long training run last Saturday, which i cut short due to pain, i realized, "oh, crap... i'm injured." IT band. Taking the right precautions, i'm doing better but not great.
Sorness = not so bad. Injury = Bad. What's the simplest explaination for telling the difference? Pain, i mean REAL pain, usually means injury. Listen to what your body tells you through every step of every workout. If you are experiencing pain, it's time to rest, ice, possibly compress, and elevate that area (RICE). If you are sore from working out hard, that's okay, some rest is in order, but you should recover quickly and be able to get on with your workout regime within a day or so. For tips on injury prevention, contact me at my website requesting information and i'll email it to you. or check out helpful tips from Runners World: http://www.runnersworld.com/channel/0,,s6-241-0-0-0,00.html
