Cernunnos Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 The frequency, distance, intensity, the posture of runner, the way the feet lands. Incorrect running postures and methods and trying to overdo for beginners (when body is not used to certain frequency or distance) can be damaging but overall running should not be an issue if done correctly.

yoyo74 Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Dont run on rocky terrain, slow down if you think too much pressure on knee, dont jump too high when running. There are a few regular runner in my running group already in his 50s so i guess its not an issue unless u got weak bones problem or some health problems or push it too hard.

Atwork Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 When your legs do not have the muscles to cushion the impact from running, it will rely on your knees when you run. Thats when it is bad for knees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenpoh Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 (edited) there are many factors involved. individual biomechanics, training habits, and pre-existing conditions, etc. for eg; if someone is overweight, older, and rely a lot on running long distance to lose weight, then this may be bad for their knees. if a person is healthy, does a balanced workout, trains sensibly, eats well and sleeps well, etc - it is common that incorporating varied runs regularly into his routine will strengthen the muscles and tissues surrounding/of his knee, and is generally at low risk of negative effects to his knees.

yoyo74 Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 So far i have already run for 9 years for at least once every weekend around 5 to 10km each run. I have maintain my weight more or less around 58kg for the past 10 years. Running pace start at slow speed and only sprint at the ending part. Now slightly more than 9 years have pass and i am almost 50 years old and my knee still feels ok. I almost never do any warm up or cool down start or end of running. I believe knee problem is due to weight of the person or the food the person eating. All those talk about long running wearing off the soft bone of the knee i dont really believe in them. Only the thing i do personally than i will know the truth Ann_Onn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strategicthrust Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 Recently, I've experienced this issue where my left knee (outer side) will start to hurt after about 10 minutes of moderate intensity jogging on the treadmill, and it gets worse till I have to stop around 15 min into the run. The pain goes away after a day or two of rest. I've never had this issue in my life and always had no problems running whether on a path or treadmill. No pre existing conditions as well. Should I be concerned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derren Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 Running and jumping are basic human movement skills. Use it or lose it. It is good to work on these skills to maintain them to old age. Never work through the pain though. Pain is an indication that something is not quite right. Perhaps posture or technique is not ideal, perhaps the joints have been overstressed, perhaps need some mobility work, perhaps need to work on more strength in certain muscles. Try to find the root cause. May need the help of trained professionals. glenpoh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I be concerned? sounds like your knee's connective tissue may just be overstressed at that time and have since recovered after you allowed it to rest.

thimas Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 Running isn’t necessarily bad for your knees. In fact, it doesn’t increase the risk of osteoarthritis and might be beneficial for joint health.

Should I be concerned? Could be what runners call IT Band Syndrome. IT Band is a connective tissue along the outside of the knee that can get inflamed if over-stretched. Usually the cause is actually not in the knee itself, but in weak and under-activated gluteus medius (upper butt) muscles. You can google to find strengthening exercises.

gerigo Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 There are a lot of misconceptions when it comes to running. I have been running for more than 20 years and no longer have knee issues. I am in my late 50’s. While I still run during the weekends, I have also incorporated yoga as part of my physical exercise and upkeep as well. I started out in my 30’s attempting to run, partly taken in by misleading ads from shoe companies and also just casual observations of people running gracefully. I thought that running incorporated long strides and heal landing on super cushioned shoes by famous athletic shoe companies. Those were the days my knees hurt so much everytime I tried to run. I remember those days when even climbing a flight of steps post run was daunting because my knees would hurt so much. I had a revelation when I was running one day at an Australian park, trying to follow this guy that seem to run effortlessly. He was running with shorter strides and landing on his forefoot. I tried that for a while. Of course for the next few weeks, it felt unnatural but this was the turning point for me. The knee pain disappeared. From that point on, I was able to run long distances, often over 1 hour with no pain whatsoever. I would get other running related aches but that’s because I was not doing post run stretches and a story for another day. Gist of this story. Yes running is one of the most basic human activity. But to do it without injuring yourself, many of us need to be retrained. It’s not as easy as strapping on fancy running shoes and heading out. BTW this style of running, landing on the forefoot is called tarahumara running, after a tribe in the Americas who could run without injuries for days on end. Much has been written about this running style and there are many videos on YouTube. This worked for me, and not necessarily work for you. Your knee pain might result from some other part of your physiology. Hope this helps. bluerunner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
