Distance running offers significant health benefits, even with minimal weekly doses, but carries a high risk of running-related injuries (RRIs). These injuries often result from an imbalance between running-specific loads and the musculoskeletal system's capacity. One key risk factor is running "too fast" or "too quickly". Additionally, smaller duty factors (DF)—the ratio of contact to stride time—have been linked to higher injury risk. Many recreational runners adopt slower speeds, often below 10 km/h, leading to a grounded running style with high DFs. "Low Running," characterized by a reduced flight phase and lower vertical oscillation, may decrease injury risk by reducing musculoskeletal loading. Biomechanical studies show that a 1% increase in DF reduces ground reaction forces and joint loading by 2%. While beneficial for most, caution is advised for runners prone to hip flexor injuries. Further research is needed to fully explore Low Running’s potential in RRI prevention.
