According to the National Library of Medicine, over 40 million Americans run on a regular basis. Running is great for the mind and body, but sometimes tough on the soles and knees when not performed properly.

When you choose to exercise without proper care for your body, you place yourself at risk for a number of injuries such as torn and inflamed tendons and ligaments, soft tissue injuries, shin splints, knee pain and much more.

At INFINIRI, we’re dedicated specialists in achieving a balance between being happy and healthy, so here are our top tips for low-impact running to help prevent and reduce pain and injury.

Choose The Right Surface

Choosing the right surface to run on is usually enough to help you ease pain in your joints while running. Softer surfaces such as grass, soft running tracks, dirt and pea gravel provide far more cushioning than hard pavements and concrete surfaces. However, this may not be a luxury for most and hard city streets and sidewalks are inevitable to run on. If this is the case, then wearing INFINIRI support socks whilst running will give your feet and knees essential cushioning and relieve muscle aches and pains.

We recommend you continue wearing INFINIRI socks after your run so your body receives the benefits even during your recovery time.

Here are a few benefits of choosing the right surface:

Less impact on your muscles and joints
Enhanced and improved running experience
Better muscular engagement and stability so you’re less likely to run into an injury

Selecting Correct Support

Selecting the correct support will also affect the quality of your run and the impact it has on your body. INFINIRI socks will highly decrease your chances of muscle strain and pain.

Sadly, proper athletic running footwear can often come with a steep price tag. INFINIRI intelligent support socks are a lower cost alternative. They provide shock absorption and cushioning to minimise the impact on your feet and joints, working with every athletic shoe style, no matter the shape, function or cost. All whilst you run, INFINIRI socks will always offer unrivalled relief, so you no longer must pay for specialised, athletic footwear.

Here are a few benefits of choosing INFINIRI socks:

Injury prevention due to proper support offered by your INFINIRI cushioning socks
Improved comfort and performance whilst you run
Improved stability and form
Improved durability and longevity

Start By Properly Warming-Up

A warm-up is an essential part of preparing your body for the impact that comes with running. A few simple stretches and exercises before setting off will increase your muscle temperature, improve blood flow, lubricate the joints, and prevent injuries from occurring.

The best warm-ups include mobility exercises and dynamic stretches such as leg swings, walking lunges and high knees. Perform all of these in a controlled manner for about 5-10 mins before you set out on your run.

Here are a few benefits of warming up before your run:

Muscles become more flexible
Activation of muscle groups
Improved joint mobility
Improved blood flow
Injury prevention
Reduced joint and muscle pain

Focus on Your Form

Poor posture and form whilst running is an easy way to run into injury. Focusing on your form whilst running will help to reduce strain and pain in your muscles and joints.

Maintain a relaxed posture and lean slightly forward, being sure not to sink your weight into your hips. When running, be conscious to strike the ground at the middle or fore-front of the foot rather than at the heel. This will allow you to land softer and reduce the impact on your knees. Wearing your INFINIRI support socks will also provide gentle compression and comfort throughout the entirety of the run and prevent and preserve your feet and knees.

Here are a few benefits of focusing on your form:

Injury prevention
Improved running performance
Improved bodily awareness and mind-muscle connection
Less fatigue

Build-up Progression

Gradually progressing your run mileage will give your body ample time to strengthen and adapt to the impact. Simply set yourself an achievable goal at the beginning and slowly but surely increase your distance every week to help build your endurance and ease your body in.

Here are some of the benefits of gradual progression:

Prevent injuries from occurring by allowing your body to naturally build strength over time
Improve running performance by focusing on quality rather than quantity
Track your progress so that you can make adjustments and improvements to your run
Gives the body time to recover and repair to ensure a safe and pain-free run each time

Please consider that although INFINIRI socks act as preventative and protective footwear, they should not be used as a replacement for medical intervention. Should your symptoms worsen or become severe, please consult with a healthcare professional or seek medical attention.
