I can't make my mind up. Reckon the short quick ones are probably the worst culprits, but I've too little experience of long distances to really know.
Anyone have any views on this one? Be interested to know because I'm trying to slow down and run further, thereby (hopefully) reducing the risk of injury whilst training.
Thanks.

Ive done about 60 miles this past week...all slow runs with one exception, and my knee is giving me some niggles this morning.
BUT, in the past I have had shorter weeks and when I do some speed work things get achy.
I'd be inclined to side with fast runs being more likely to injure you too....but is it simply a case of what you are used to?
Most people probably get injured through a combination of both. As most people will be doing both i would have thought.
Even If if your training for stupid distance ultras you should still be working on short distance speed. Dont slow down all your training to run further, I think its easier to run further if you get your short fast runs quicker as well as putting in the long slow ones.
Bit of both is the way forward then, Jason. Marvellous. I can do that.
Who is this dreadful Coops10 person? :-P
Mind you, I don't have any evidence to back up that theory!
