]]> There’s no doubt that running takes a huge toll on our bodies. While tight hamstrings and stiff calves are to be expected after a run, other aches like knots in your lower back or sore shoulders aren’t predictable. These are the most common complaints runners have as well as ways to fix them.

Knot in Your Neck

For women, ill-fitting sports bras can lead to neck or upper back strain. Make sure you wear a supportive sports bra while running that has encapsulation or compression-style support.

Tight Ribcage

Due to constantly being on computers or phones, we tend to tense up, which doesn’t feel nice. Start to open up your ribcage by swinging your arms straight back while running instead of forward across your body.

Sore Shoulder

If you’re only sore on one side, it may relate to how you’re running. Maybe you hold your phone in your right hand or your car keys in your left one. This can result in tension that makes you sore in your shoulder. To fix this, invest in a sleeve or pack to hold your belongings.

Tight Low Back

Most people arch their lower back while running, especially once they get tired. To get rid of a tight low back, work on building your hip mobility.

Aching Knees

A lot of runners overstride, which can lead to achy knees post-run. To solve this, send your arms back instead of across your body, which will cause your legs to swing farther forward.
