Training - Injury Archives - Black Toenails
Posted On 5/14/2008 12:28:47 PM by TriFatlete
Over my 40 years of running, I've had hundreds of black toenails. The following is my advice in avoiding and treating this problem. This is offered as experience passed from one runner to another. You should always confer with a doctor who knows about running injuries when you have a medical problem.
Almost everyone who runs gets a black toenail. Getting your first one is a sign that you've moved your training into a higher level. While most runners blame a shoe that is too small, this is often not the primary cause. Certainly toe pressure from the shoe can make the toe hurt even more, but pressure from underneath seems to produce more black nails.

Hamstring Pulls
Posted On 11/1/2006 7:15:11 PM by Sandy
A hamstring pull is actually a type of muscle strain. Muscle fibers are torn either partially or completely. A three point grading system is usually applied in diagnosing muscle strains, ranging from microtears and partial tears to complete tears and avulsions of muscles from their origins. The hamstring is actually more then one muscle, it is a group of 3 muscles that run down the back of the leg, opposite the quadriceps.
