How do I prevent injury while sprinting?
Well sprinting involved violent contractions of the muscles so you have to make sure that you are stretched out and warm- as well as hydrated. Make sure that you warm up for about 5-10 minutes of easy running- then stretching and some warm-up drills. Your knee is easily affected by cold weather and lack of stretching-especially on hills, so if you don’t warm up and hydrate, the tendons and muscles around the knee will be tights and you might cramp up or pull a muscle.
