They have run too much, too soon, and have picked up speed too fast. As much as people have attacked the 10% rule, I still believe that it holds tremendous merit.<\/p>\n<p>The Journal of Orthopedic and Sports Physical Therapy \u00a0put out a study recently that found the following, after studying 873 runners for 1 year; 202 runners got injured during the study.
