Running is an excellent form of exercise, offering countless physical and mental health benefits. However, it’s not without its risks, particularly when training loads increase too quickly or underlying risk factors are overlooked. One common overuse injury in runners is the stress fracture—an area of micro-damage in overloaded bone caused by repetitive strain. These injuries often affect weight-bearing bones like those in the shin or hip, and recognising the early signs can prevent more serious complications. Specialist consultant in sport and exercise medicine Dr Noel Pollock, a former 1500m runner himself, explains all you need to know.
