Why Most Runners Get Injured (And What YOU Can Do About It)

Endurance running is without any doubt one of the best things you can do for your health. It burns a lot of calories and helps you lose or keep your weight down. It improves your immune systems and lowers blood pressure. It strengthens your body and helps you sleep better. It even reduces the risk of cancer and adds years to your life.

So it’s no surprise that running has become very popular in recent decades and millions of runners around the world started doing it regularly and fell in love with it soon after.

That all sounds nice but the reality is often different. As ones health improves with running it often also decreases in the same time, at least in some body parts. Injuries have become a constant companion for many runners. In fact there were studies that showed that for amateur runners every 30 hours of running an injury occurs!

So a lot of runners experience stuff like a runner’s knee, shin splints or any other common running injury several times each year.

And there are a few simple reasons for that.

We all have the ability to run. And we all can do it in a healthy manner. But most don’t know how to approach endurance running in the healthiest possible way. It happens so fast that you get overly focused with a specific performance goal and do too much too soon. Strictly following a random training plan without respecting the peculiarities of your own body and the limits of your current level, is the fast track to an injury. And very often the simple lack of know-how is what get many amateur runners injured.

But is it possible to improve as a runner, get faster and be able to run further and that, without getting injured?

How I Never Got Injured In a Decade of Running

Well my own story shows that in fact it is possible.

When I was around 20 years old, I was a mess. Chronic illness not only kept me from doing any sports but my life was dominated by a great deal of pain, day and night. My fitness diminished down to a point where I needed to pause and breathe after 100 meters of slow walking.

But then things changed. When I got some new medicine, I started to feel better and decided to do something sustainable for my health and started running.

Today, a bit more than a decade later, I run 100k trail races in the mountains just because I love it. After doing my first 5 minute run in 2008 I continued to improve year after year, got faster and gained endurance up to the point that now I can easily run for more than 10 hours straight.

And the best is: All this without getting injured!

So recently I reflected on what I did right in that decade of running and decided that I package all this knowledge and experience into a product that is intended to helps others to write a similar story.

Who Finisher For Life Is Made For

Finisher For Life is designed to help amateur runners of all levels that focus on sustaining and improving health and still want to improve their running skills and achieve ambitious goals.

Finisher For Life is great for you if at least one of these questions can be answered with yes:

• Did you struggle with running injuries in the past?
• Do you want to keep running for the rest of your life?
• Is health one of the main reasons why you run?
• Are you a beginning runner?
• You don’t know how you should approach running in the healthiest possible way

Don’t Enroll In Finisher For Life if…

Finisher For Life is beneficial for most amateur runners and enrolling in this program can have a huge positive impact. However this online course is not for everyone. So to make sure you don’t waste your money, you should consider skipping this offer if one or more of the following is true for you:

• You’re a professional runner
• You have a professional running coach
• You never had a running injury
• You’re just looking for short-term success in running
• You were able to improve your running skills and health together for years
• You know how to prevent injuries and how this whole running thing works

What Are Your Other Options

I strongly believe that the Finisher For Life program will make you a healthier, life-long and well performing runner. But of course you don’t necessarily need to enroll in this program. There are some other options. Let’s have a look at what these are and compare them to the Finisher For Life online course.

1. Get a running coach:
   Sure you could hire a running coach that trains you and designs your training specifically to your needs. This is a nice option if you find a good coach. However until a coach understands your situation and assessed your current level and situation, chances are that you already spend more money than the cost of the entire Finisher For Life program. This online course will give you all the tools to be your own coach.
2. Learn it the hard way:
   What you will learn in this program is what I learned the hard way in the past decade by running thousands of miles and reading thousands of pages. Sure you can do the same. But with Finisher For Life I offer you a short-track to a healthy running habit without the need of doing the same mistakes that I and many others did.
3. Do nothing
   Another option would be to do nothing and keep going with an injury every know and then and leaving things more to luck than to a tested system that almost can guarantee healthy and injury-free running for decades. Finisher For Life helps you spending less time at doctor’s offices and physio therapists and more time outside running.
4. Stop running
   I’m pretty sure that this isn’t really an option for you. Otherwise you wouldn’t have read so far. Instead of throwing your running shoes away, let’s work together and stay healthy runners until the day we die.

Your Running Future With Finisher For Life

What many runners are doing is risky, expensive and not sustainable. The constant cycle of (over-) training, getting injured, treatment and training pause, buying and trying new shoes, insoles and other things, is not what I consider a healthy, life-long running habit.

Let me show you how you can change this and how your running will look like if you enroll in the Finisher For Life program and implement the healthy training system learned in this online course.

Finisher For Life is all about giving you the tools in your own hand so you no longer train blindly or according to a generic, pre-defined training plan. It is designed to help you make healthy decisions day after day in your training. This course will show you what these healthy decisions are and how you shift your focus to put health first in your running.

Think of it as a training system that once implemented, guarantees that you have a health focus constantly and after a while, do what keeps you healthy automatically without much effort.

Why is this great? Because then you can focus on enjoying every single run and not only dream about ambitious goals and dreams, but come constantly closer to achieving them.

You no longer have to skip a race you trained hard for because of a late injury. You no longer have to worry of wearing your body down too much and struggle from damages done once you reach a certain age. You no longer have the uncertainty if a workout or a training plan is too much for you.

This program gives you everything you need to win back control over the entire process of training, from assessing the limits of your body, planning the next steps and make healthy decisions constantly. This program will make you your own running coach and after implementing the lessons learned, you will truly be a Finisher For Life!
