Look after those knees folks. I tore my meniscus in my knee in April. Absolute nightmare, couldn't sleep, couldn't drive, couldn't sit. Months of physio and an injection later and today was the first attempt at a run since then. 2k is all I am allowed .

Funny on that subject I've been talking a lot to a few ones on torn meniscuses recently. I know quite a few with them but to varying degrees. One physio reckons most runners have them but can just manage them and then there are a few who get them quite bad.

One of the worse ones was done by a runner more or less on getting out of his car.

Would strengthen of the muscles around the knee help that? I'd physio a few years ago because of knee pain, it worked out well with just that fortunately, but around that time was covid, the gyms had closed and I got out of the way of doing my usual strength work and I put it down to that..

Hopefully you get back to your normal mileage, without the pain
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Hip mobility is a big factor in knee pain.
