Low back pain is the top cause of disability around the globe. Treatment options can be pricey, take up a lot of time, and sometimes don’t even work.

Interestingly, how you think about back pain can have a significant impact on your experience. Holding onto unhelpful beliefs may lead to increased pain, more disability, longer time away from work, and even more reliance on medication and healthcare services.

But remember, you're not alone! Common misconceptions about back pain affect many people, whether they are experiencing pain or not. These beliefs can often be reinforced by the media, your community, industry professionals, and even well-meaning doctors.

Your thoughts about your pain can shape your actions and how you emotionally respond to it.

With marathon season just around the corner, here are some essential tips to keep you injury-free as your training ramps up:

Rest: Prioritise recovery between runs to prevent overuse injuries. Avoid consecutive days of running, especially if you're new to marathon training. Listen to your body and consider dropping a run if you're feeling any niggles.

Cross-Train: Engage in activities like swimming or yoga to keep your body moving while giving your running muscles a break. Choose activities you enjoy to make cross-training a positive addition to your routine.

Stay Calm: Long training runs can be intimidating, but stressing about them only makes them harder. Practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing to calm your nervous system and ease your mind.

Nutrition: Fuel your body with nutritious foods to support recovery and reduce the risk of injury. While I'm not a nutrition expert, ensuring a well-balanced diet throughout your training is essential for optimal performance.

Remember, staying injury-free is key to reaching your marathon goals. Prioritise rest, incorporate cross-training, maintain a calm mindset, and fuel your body properly. You've got this!
