My 15year old son has been complaining about shoulder pain and stiffness while running.
He's been running a couple miles a day, three times a week, as part of his wrestling training. He also lifts three times a week and wrestles three times a week(two hour sessions)
First... does this sound like overtraining?
Second..where is the shoulder pain from running coming from?
He does fullbody workouts and doesn't experience any pain with that. And the actual wrestling, although exhausting, isn't causing him any "pain" in his shoulders.
I'm not a runner by any stretch for the imagination, so I'm at a loss telling him what he's doing wrong with his running.
BTW, he was never a long distance runner, not that two miles is a long distance, but he just started doing this in February.
Anyway, what could it be?...not enough stretching before the runs? Poor form or posture while running? He's really getting discouraged.
(and I'm clueless)
