What's usually behind it

Most running injuries are overload problems: the body is asked to do more than it's ready for. Sudden jumps in mileage or pace, hills, hard surfaces and not enough recovery are the usual triggers. The most common conditions amongst runners are Runners knee, Shin Splints and Achilles tendon pain.

Running technique, footwear, strength and old injuries and poor movement patterns all affect how load spreads through your legs. Fixing those is what stops injuries recurring.
