Medical & Training risk factorsMedical & Training risk factors• Overtraining, constantly tired or can’t finish sessions properly• Ignoring pain in the bones (especially aching at night in bed)• Rapid increase in the volume of training• Always running on hard surfaces (track/road) instead of grass• Poor cushioning in training shoes or wearing spikes all the time instead of
cushioned trainers• Poor foot/running posture (can be checked by a Physio)• Low Bone Density (can be checked with a “DEXA” scan)
• A sign that something is wrong:- – Irregular, reduced or absent menstrual period (girls &
women)
• Girls and Women - this is your body telling you that your energy intake doesn’t match your training requirements. The body has started conserving fuel by stopping your monthly period and doesn’t have enough energy to put Calcium in the bones
