2011 London Marathon runners with a charity place need to make sure they do not get injured during their London Marathon training programme. After Christmas the mileage begins to increase as you get closer to the race in April.
This is a crucial time in the marathon runners training programme and as such any running injury will set you back at an important time. More importantly if you have raised money and have sponsors for a charity place then you need to complete the race in order to collect the sponsorship money for your chosen charity.
Running injuries are common with high mileage training and can be minor to severe in nature. Most importantly you should get niggles checked early before it develops into something more serious. Early intervention might make the difference between success and failure.
Common running injuries include achilles tendonitis, shinsplints, knee pain, blisters, plantar fasciitis and calf strains. Tight IT bands, runners knee and tendonitis can all cause problems and stop you running if not treated.
Information on running injuries can be found on the website www.londonmarathon-runninginjuryclinics.co.uk and the Solihull Sports Injury Clinic in Solihull Birmingham have a dedicated running injury team of sports physiotherapists,sports therapists and sports massage therapists.

The London Marathon Running season is now underway and many runners entered for the 2010 Virgin London Marathon will have their training programme in place and begin pounding the roads in order to build up endurance in the legs and heart muscles.
Cardiovascular training is important but more important is to prepare your muscles for the endurance activity or continual running from between 2 hours up to 6 hours in some cases. Many average runners and novices aim to complete the 26 mile course in about 4 hours which is a long time to run without a rest.
Preparation for this ordeal should be a gradual progressive increase in time and distance which takes dedication, commitment and good time management.
Many runners will have biomechanical faults which will result in running injuries once the mileage increases. Running injury clinics such as Atlas Sports Injury Clinic in Solihull Birmingham have expertise in running and running injuries and can assist runners to get back running in the fastest possible time. Their website has useful running tips and injury prevention advice www.londonmarathon-runninginjuryclinics.co.uk

Orthotics will treat overpronation in runners
Overpronated feet are very common and many people who pronate or overpronate now wear prescription orthotics insoles in their trainers and running shoes. Prices may vary and range from an “off the shelf orthotic” to prescriptive orthotics of a high specification. The 2010 Virgin London Marathon will have many overpronating runners wearing orthotics.
Orthosis can range from soft, semi rigid and rigid and can be found in threequarter or full length varieties. Commonly known as foot insoles or orthotic insoles they provide arch supports for dropped arches and flat feet.
Slim fit orthotics can be found for more difficult shoes and you can even have them fitted in ladies court shoes.
The secret to correcting faulty biomechanics is in the prescription. Many people fit foot orthotics but care must be taken when choosing a practitioner.
At Solihull Sports Injury Clinic in Hall Green Birmingham they have Sports Podiatrist Peter Taylor who has competed as a runner for many years and won the Burton Half Marathon in 1 hour 10 mins. Peter is a specialist in running injuries and fitting orthotic insoles.
Peter Taylor runs the Atlas Runners Injury Clinic at Solihull Sports Injury Clinic on the Robin Hood Island, Hall Green in Birmingham and has access to laser foot scanning and video gait analysis equipment which ensures accurate prescription measurements when designing your orthotics.
Peter also works at the Atlas Sports Injury Clinic in Tamworth town centre where he carries out full biomechanical assessments
Visit the website www.londonmarathon-runninginjuryclinics.co.uk
If you are currently using correction in your running shoes but not in your daily footwear then you are risking the incidence of picking up an injury.
As soon as you wear an orthotic it changes your relationship with the ground. Generally your feet are pushed towards the outer side of your shoes reducing the rolling in experienced of the overpronator. This now puts the lower limbs into a different position and results in the muscles having to pull at a slightly different angle.
This is supposed to happen and in order to get used to wearing the orthotic’s some users may have been told to wear them for a few hours per day and gradually increase the time wearing them until they get used to them.
