💥💥80% of Runners are Injured EVERY YEAR 😲 But it Doesn't Have to be You!

I, like most runner’s when the get injured, have been searching high and low for answers about my knee pain. This is by far the best source I’ve found which gives concise and helpful information about it. Thank you so much!

[DWNY]

Very informative. I like that you cite studies/papers to come to your conclusions.

[skateata]

This is very helpful. Thank you for the graphics and studies!

[jamesnarbett]

Is your channel new?

Your information is some of the best I’ve listened to and I’ve exhausted hours/days on the subject of runners knee to YouTube.

I will take a new approach to my recovery.

Thanks

Increased volume and new shoes, in my case. Fortunately I stopped in the early stage. This video gave me relief as I hate stop running for longer periods. Thank you.

Think mine started because the terrain was uneven roads, hills, kerb hopping jumped from 5k to 10k too quick (peoples left knee)

[kjane]

Thank you! Very informative! Simple and backed with facts!

[mavillen]

Clear explanations for why these myths don’t work or maybe that is only clear to us who have been involved in running for awhile and searched around for help and recommendations. I feel that when ever my knee acts up cutting back for a period has always helped and there are complementary training you can do to keep most of you current fitness.

Loved the video! Do you have a video with recommended exercises for strengthening the knees?

Hello
My son has been playing soccer training everyday with patella pain for 4 months. He has been home for Christmas for a month resting trying to let it heal. When should he begin rehab as it still hurts a little some days. And have you heard if shock therapy has helped with runners knee?
Thank you for the video! 4:10

OK that’s all nice and cute. My knee hurts, how do I fix it?

[aanchalvarma]

Amazing video! I was wondering if it's a myth to not bend the knee into the cross legged position if one has runners knee? Or not to kneel as well. Any thoughts?

[Letsgofinance]

Loved this video! Do you know of studies that point to specific exercises proven to support recovery?

I ‘think’ I have this. I’m a keen runner and never been injured before. I had a sore knee (left leg, right side) a few days prior to competing in a HM on Sunday. I had no swelling. There was no bang or fall, it came from nowhere although I had been training consistently for a good few weeks. When I started running the HM the discomfort disappeared but then came back around 10k. I did notice it more running downhill. It came and it went. Rightly or wrongly I finished the race. The pain in the side of the knee disappeared but I have some discomfort which appears to be behind the knee cap possibly below. Again I have no swelling but my knee is very unstable. I’m wearing a knee brace which is working great and stability seems to be improving slowly. I am applying ibuprofen gel and taking it. I’m now doing small walks each day, about 1k and foam rolling my thighs/calfs which seems to be working well. Anymore advice would be welcome! 😊

I ve had a runners knee. When i felt it i directly stopped running. Gave it a good 2 weeks rest. Than slowly build it up with cycling/walking. And now it s good to go again. My running form was bad. And also to much milage.

[patrickgilroy]

What would be the better option running or stationary bike?

[eltito]

Is wearing a knee brace a good idea ? Will it prolong the time of rehabilitation or shorten it ?

[susanharkema]

Which is more likely cause of my runner's knee - old shoes breakdown after 6 months or overstriding? Thanks for the great video!!

[PatrickOliveros]

I can't say if it's painful but there is something I feel where the runner's knee is usually located - this is primarily because I have a high tolerance for pain but also I am top heavy.
