Get Running Forums

After many weeks of holding back, knee problems and plodding along with week 5 run 2 I finally moved on to do the big 20 min run!!! I've put it off and off and off and today I nailed it!!! I've got to admit I was following another runner and found that's what kept me going for the last 5 mins as my ...

Yep still doing the treadmill :cry: and for the foreseeable future too. I saw my doc this morning and he said I've twisted the tendon/ ligament ( sorry can't remember what he called it) that runs down the side of the knee. But is gonna take some time to repair itself but the good news is that I can ...

Im finally getting to see my doc tomorrow, waited 3 weeks for this appointment so have been doing my runs on the treadmill for now.
I hope he can sort it

hey you are doing a great job. Im carrying on my runs on the treadmill too. I started with no incline then each week I up it a half.

I kn...

Swimming this evening, I find swimming uses the same breathing pattern as running so if nothing else it ll keep that up. Sheri, Im very lucky to have a pool...

LOL, I know but I spose I need to see it as a positive and its gotten me to slow down a bit and take my time. Its not swollen at all, doesnt hurt one bit until I kneel on it or put any pressure on it, its very bizzarre I know. Sheri Im waiting to get a knee brace for support and going up the gym in ...

Hmmm not really sure what's going on to be honest as my knee seems fine to walk on, no pain what so ever but the minute I kneel down I'm in agony! It's like a burning/pin stabbing sensation that rips down the outside of my knee. So once again 2steps forward and 1step back and take a rest for a bit. ...
