The data collection was performed using the Briteback Survey Tool TM (Norrköping, Sweden) web-based system in January 2018. A survey was constructed that asked for basic sociodemographic information, exercise load, injury history, and data for the IPQ-R-S Overuse injury. An online version of the survey, an e-mail list, and a mailings schedule were created in the web-based system (Rönnby et al., 2018). The runners were invited to participate in the study through an email that contained study information and a link to the survey. Non-responding runners received maximum two automatic reminders by email with 10-day intervals. Automated system-generated statistics were provided for the researchers immediately after reporting of data.
