Hi guys, it’s Dan from iMove. Let’s talk about the difference between a niggle and an injury.

With a niggle, you’re going to be experiencing soreness, or tightness, but it’s not keep you out of running.

With an injury, that’s something that’s causing you enough pain to stop you from running.

Now it’s really important that you don’t ignore when you’re feeling a niggle.

This is what we call the niggle line.

Don’t ignore the niggle line – when you keep loading your body past this point, without seeking the help of a health professional, then you end up incurring an injury.

An injury is something that keeps you out of the game and stops you from running.

So be aware of your niggles so you can get help before an injury happens, and get the most out of your training.
