Someone told me last night at the Albuquerque Roadrunners meeting (great great bunch of folks, more on that later) that everyone in the room fell into one of two categories, runners who had been injured and runners who would be injured. It got me to thinking. . . what is our injury rate and can we learn from each other beyond individual anecdotes?
Can we start a survey of BRS members? Replies can just include question number and a short response
1. how long have you been a barefoot/minimalist runner (specify which)?
2. what is your average weekly mileage?
3. what is your injury prevention regimen (stretching, foam roller, etc.) rate your use 1-10, one being very low, 10 being very dedicated?
4. what injuries have you sustained and when? (ex: week 4 of running barefoot/minimalist, PF) rate injury 1-10
5. how long did it take you to really overcome injury (back to previous mileage/week)?
6 input: short response with information about injury (due to wearing regular shoes at work, VFF caused problem, TMTS, etc. this is subjective I know.
I thought about using surveymonkey for this, but don't have time to set up. No pride in authorship here. . . just hoping to learn more/what to do better.
