If I remember rightly I think my physio said it had something to do with weak abductors which led to increased stress on the knee. Try some exercises to strengthen the abductors.Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12625630418411930827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8598452380703242984.post-83734154265929335132007-07-10T16:14:00.000-07:002007-07-10T16:14:00.000-07:00i'm sorry you had pain in your knee. i hope it's b...i'm sorry you had pain in your knee. i hope it's better by now!<BR/><BR/>by the way, you know what i realized? you probably run more in a week than i ran since i started blogging in may. what's your secret to keep running?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8598452380703242984.post-12824176433986023662007-07-09T21:10:00.000-07:002007-07-09T21:10:00.000-07:00this does not sound good. shane is actually exper...this does not sound good. shane is actually experiencing a stress fracture in his femur, so he's out of pocatello for marathon distance- he's probably going to do portland, though.<BR/>good luck! i'm becoming more worried about injuries as i run further. i guess you just do what you can!<BR/>good luck at brundage! we'll be driving back to p-town that day, so we'll be cheering in our car all day long. :)jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234891757783027960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8598452380703242984.post-14189448222312352982007-07-09T18:55:00.000-07:002007-07-09T18:55:00.000-07:00Alright - please listen to me!!!Make sure you are ...Alright - please listen to me!!!<BR/><BR/>Make sure you are spending quality time stretching. Following your long run it would not be a bad idea to take an 5 or 10 minute ice bath. Sure it will be cold but the benefits are huge. Stretching is key. Even if you think you do enough do a google search and add some new forms to your routine.<BR/><BR/>In my past experience my injury it was all due to increasing miles to fast and not stretching. Be careful!!<BR/><BR/>Way to head for the hills on your long run.<BR/><BR/>And are there really such thing as dog cathers still???

I too had a similar knee pain issue, caused by running too hard in the winter (on ice) and a sudden increase in mileage (8m runs to 16). 1.5 m into my runs I got the pain in my left knee on the outer bottom part. But when I stopped and walked it was fine...then ran and it hurt. So after about 3 days I went to the doc. and his diagnosis was a "strained meniscus". So I rested it for 8 days and did a week of 4m runs then went back to 8's. Knock on wood it hasn't come back to haunt me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8598452380703242984.post-61042214636417810402007-07-09T11:01:00.000-07:002007-07-09T11:01:00.000-07:00I'm not much for giving advice.

I had a running injury book that I used when I began running and over time developed an awareness of my body and what I could and could not get away with. Ice and ibuprofin are always a safe bet temporarily. Take it easy. We want you healthy.

Although I will ask, are you picking up your feet? Sometimes when I "shuffle" especially towards the end when I'm feeling a bit more tired, I notice my knees start to ache a bit. I can't remember the mumbo jumbo on why this (knee pain) happens when you shuffle but dude talks about it in Chi Running LOL I know, that was a TOTAL help :P<BR/><BR/>Dude, TOTALLY hear you on the water deal. Mine only carries 22 oz so I have to leave out bottles at home, run back home and then continue on.

Keep it going for a couple of days. Ice after your run too. And remember - do your long runs a little slower than marathon pace. Remember you are already taxing your body by increasing miles - you don't want to push so hard on the new distances. That adds more stress. Save your speed for the shorter runs for now. Your experience at mile 12 is what happens when you go out too fast on long distances. The good news is that as you increase your mileage, you'll find that wall comes later and later. Good luck! ...end of unsolicited advice...Backofpackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13779487553272296752noreply@blogger.com
