When it is fine to run through pain, and when it is not

A simple rule for deciding whether to finish the run or walk home.

Priya Marlow ·

A runner on a tree-lined road with morning sun coming through the branches.

Pain that stays at three out of ten or lower, and is gone within a day, is usually safe to run through.

Stop when pain changes your stride. A limp moves load to tissue that is not ready for it, and that is how one injury becomes two.
