#2I recently developed 'IT band Syndrome' which made me say goodbye to boring/injury prone running and switch to swimming. Best decision ever. Fuck running.
I don't know of single runner who hasn't suffered some kind of injury. Again fuck running.

#4I ran track in College (1976-1978) an my coach back then taught me correct form. I run at least 5 miles almost every day ever since and have never had a running related injury. I attribute this to learning correct running form early on. If you run more than 3 miles and have any pain at all you are probably doing it wrong.

Where do you run ? Indoors or outdoors?

what is "correct form"? and where is all the research demonstrating its success at preventing injury?

Not necessarily. It has been found that radically changing your running technique quickly alters where the majority of the load on your skeleton occurs, which may lead to injury: http://sportsscientists.com/2007/10/pose-running-reduces-run...
The same blog has a whole series of posts on running technique, much of its opinions supported by the scientific studies: http://sportsscientists.com/running/running-physiology/runni...

I used to swim a lot until I started developing ear and nose infections from the wet environment.
Now, if I swim more than once a week I get a blocked sinus.
This happens more with chlorinated swimming pools, but I think O3 treated ones are not great for your health either.
Running on the other hand doesn't seem to give me trouble.

If you run the same mileage every day every week every year well yeah then you are very unlikely to get injured.
But that tells us nothing.
