Running is widely recognized as one of the best exercises for losing weight and getting in shape. Once starting a running program, the benefits often come quickly and dramatically, encouraging runners to run more. Unfortunately, running is a high impact sport and if care is not exercised, injury can result. It is estimated that as many as 70% of runners will have some sort of injury within the year that will keep them from running.
