You can avoid these problems by:

Changing your running shoes regularly. If you run most days, it’s a good idea to have more than one pair of runners. When you buy a new pair of runners, have them professionally fitted.
Seek treatment and advice early to reduce the chances of your problem becoming chronic, and much harder to resolve. Vary the surfaces you run on. Constantly challenge your body to adapt.
If you’re new to running, build up gradually. Make sure you have a balanced, healthy diet. Your body will need more energy if you’re taking up running. Make sure to drink enough water.
Warm up before your run and cool down with stretches to maintain your flexibility. Pay attention to your calves and hamstrings.Talk to experienced runners about the strategies they’ve found to keep themselves in good form.
Find yourself a good sports massage therapist, and invest in regular massages. Learn to listen to your body and pay attention to any pain points. See if they disappear when you warm up, for example.
