I tend to believe it can be avoided with proper training though. There are certainly some theories that “chronic cardio” can set up inflammation, which is a recipe for injury.

I agree that treadmill running alters gait pattern, and although I'm not sure if it's been technically proven or not, I remember reading that it does. It was actually in reference to athletic performance and sprinting, but that doesn't change the fact that altered gait pattern is a significant concern for injury as well. Another though, although unpopular with distance athletes, is that long distance running in general can often be a recipe for injury as well. Hi Greg, interesting observations!

Try running down along the cannals in the mornings or evenings... Its usually cooler there. Just be wary, some of those areas can be a little sketchy! As a previous resident of PHX I totally agree.
