There’s something energizing about May in Maryland. The weather is warming up, trails are filling with runners, and local 5Ks and half-marathons are back on the calendar. Whether you’re lacing up for your first run of the year or building toward your next PR, spring is when motivation runs high—but your body might not be caught up yet.
The Problem: You’re Mentally Ready, but Physically Underprepared
After a winter of less movement (hello, cozy couch season), your muscles, joints, and connective tissues may not be fully conditioned for the demands of running. Without proper preparation, common overuse injuries can creep in:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Shin splints
- Runner’s knee
- IT band irritation
- Hip flexor tightness
- Low back stiffness
Even a small imbalance can create a ripple effect with every step—leading to inflammation, pain, and forced rest days that derail your progress.
You Can’t Always Run Your Way Out of It
More miles won’t fix poor form or limited mobility. In fact, trying to “run through it” usually makes it worse.
👉 Tight hips cause poor knee tracking
👉 Weak ankles strain the plantar fascia
👉 A stiff back changes your stride and overloads your joints
The result?
More pain. More recovery time. More frustration.
You don’t have to be an elite athlete to deserve a pain-free run. Whether you’re training for a race or simply want to enjoy your favorite trail again, your body deserves support that matches your goals.
