title: Always on the run.
abstract: With injury incidence ranging from 26% to 92%, runners are continually seeking the next great cure that will keep them injury free. And the information they receive is often conflicting: land on your heels, land on your toes; stretching makes you faster, stretching makes you slower; wear supportive shoes, do not wear shoes at all. As practitioners, we are often guilty of the same search for a common cause of all running injuries: foot pronation, impact forces, excessive hip motion, and so on. It is a confusing time for runners, as well as for those of us who treat them. By covering a diverse range of running topics, we hope this special running issue of JOSPT improves our understanding of what running is and takes us one step further toward having common answers for those on the run.
