In the first half of the webinar, we delve into the most common running-related injuries, such as “runners’ knee”, plantar fasciitis, meniscal injuries, patellar tendinitis and Achilles tendinitis. We examine their epidemiology and aetiologies, to understand the signs and symptoms to look out for and understand the specialist to refer onto if necessary. We discuss the various conservative and nonconservative rehabilitation methods and treatments available.

Exercise associated or related leg pain (ERLP), often referred to as the generic term “shin splints”, is another hot-topic in running injuries which we focus on in the second half. Medial tibial stress syndrome, chronic exertional compartment syndrome, tibial and fibular stress fractures, tendinopathy, nerve entrapment, and vascular pathology can all manifest as ERLP. We will be examining the necessary investigations and modalities to refer for to understand differential diagnosis of these conditions. Finally, we will look at management, including a running programme to rebuild strength and ease back in.
