In recent years, running has been a real craze in France. Whether it's to improve fitness, lose weight, or simply relax after a day's work, more and more French people are lacing up their running shoes and hitting the streets, parks, and trails.
According to a study by Union Sport & Cycle, more than 13.5 million French people run at least once a week, a figure that continues to grow, particularly since the pandemic. With this rise in popularity, a crucial question arises: how can you protect your joints to run longer and avoid injuries?
The answer may well lie in appropriate supplementation, particularly collagen, a key protein for healthy tendons, cartilage and joints.

Why does running put so much strain on the joints?
Each stride represents a significant impact on the joints, especially for the knees, hips, and ankles. Unlike swimming or cycling, which are low-impact sports, running places a load equivalent to three to five times your body weight on the lower body joints with each step.
Over time, this repeated impact can lead to:
- Wear of the cartilage (promoting early osteoarthritis)
- Pain in the knees and hips
- Inflammation of the tendons and ligaments
This is where collagen comes in: it helps strengthen joint structures and prevent pain that can slow down runners' progress.
Collagen: an essential ally for runners
Collagen is a protein naturally present in our bodies. It is the main component of cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. Unfortunately, from the age of 25, our collagen production gradually declines, increasing the risk of injury and joint pain, especially for regular athletes.
The benefits of collagen for runners:
✔️ Protects joints by strengthening cartilage
✔️ Improves flexibility and strength of tendons and ligaments
✔️ Promotes faster recovery after exercise
✔️ Reduces inflammation related to repeated impacts
By incorporating a collagen supplement into your routine, you preserve the health of your joints and prolong your running pleasure.
