[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Play another sport at least at the rec level.  Girls especially build up strength in their legs but in very specific zones. Too strong on one end leads to over extension on those ligaments by muscles not being used as hard on a regular basis. Some clubs have zero understanding of this and have their players running way to much when out of practice. Running is great for conditioning but if you are never using ligaments or tendons except in one way you are risking a tear when one set of muscles is a lot stronger than another. Again, coaches that assign miles and miles of running and are not consulting with experts are most guilty of this. Does your coach require more than 10 miles running a week outside practice below the age of 16 (girls especially?)  This is building endurance but increasing the risk of acl or mcl injuries[/quote]

I’ve never heard of any coach assigning this amount of running to players. Why are you making things up?[/quote]

S/he isn’t making this up. There are HS coaches that “highly recommend” wink wink their players to run XC. Then they run more than others during the season. [/quote]
