Excessive training in a child can lead to injury. T
raining in a child should be age appropriate and fun and not be stressful.
Soreness after a run is not an issue, but if your child complaints of pain while running, should be a concern.
Before your child begins a running regimen, make sure you consult your pediatrician or a physician.
Always watch for signs of stress or pain. Although injuries are inevitable, running should not lead your child into chronic injury.
Rigorous training may damage the growing bones in children.
