Injury risk increase detection insights

Runner (incl free)

Injury risk detection insight helps you spot early warning signs for potential overuse injuries before they happen.

This insight is based on the latest scientific research, which shows that the likelihood of running-related overuse injuries rises significantly when the distance of a single run exceeds 10% of the longest run completed within the last 30 days.

KULG automatically analyses your training data and provides a risk-level insight when:

• you add a new run (editing an existing run doesn't trigger an insight)

• the run is from the last 3 days

• the run is 15 km or longer

• the run is more than 10% longer than your longest run in the 30 days before it

Understanding your injury risk levels

When KULG detects a run that fits this pattern, you’ll see one of the following risk categories on your dashboard:

• Low risk: more than 10% and up to 30% longer than your previous longest run

• Average risk: more than 30% and up to 100% longer

• High risk: more than 100% longer

You get one insight per run, and each risk level is shown only once in the same period.

These insights are designed to help you train smarter and stay consistent by balancing progress with recovery and avoiding sudden increases in load that could lead to injury.

Why it matters

A steady, gradual increase in training load is one of the most effective ways to reduce overuse injuries.

With this KULG insight, you’ll be able to:

• spot sudden spikes in your long-run distance

• adjust your plan accordingly

• keep improving safely and sustainably
