In my experience, not being able to run because of an ingrown toenail is so uncool. There is absolutely zero glamour to it, not that any injury is glamorous, and ingrown toenails can be easily avoided. If you have never experienced this annoying problem let me explain — an ingrown toenail occurs when the corners of one of your toenails grows into the soft skin of your toe.

If you love to run but hate running downhill because of knee pain, give this technique a try. Run downhill backwards to take pressure off your knees. Step slowly and with control to avoid smacking your feet down, which will prevent your joints from jarring.

When running on a treadmill, I believe you should keep the incline set to at least one percent. The added incline helps make up for the lack of environmental resistance indoors, such as wind, making your workout a little tougher. Another reason to set your treadmill incline to at least one percent is to avoid every runner's nemesis, shin splints.
