I was pretty sure I hadn’t had too many ‘traumatic’ injuries (where one specific event caused the injury). My injury log seems to agree. Leaving aside the 46 ankle sprains. Only 16 injuries over 43+ years of running that I could pick the specific moment that the injury happened. Slippery footing being the major factor in 7 instances (mud/ice). I only included injuries that lost me time and not when I tweaked something and was able to run through it.
