In this episode, we delve into knee injuries in runners. From the common afflictions of Patellofemoral pain, IT band syndrome, and knee osteoarthritis, we explore what they are, why they occur, and how they impact your running performance. Our conversation further expands into the major causes behind these conditions, with special focus on training errors such as 'too much too soon', inappropriate hill training, over-striding, and weaknesses in quads and hips.
But it's not all doom and gloom! We're here to offer effective treatment tips and preventative strategies. Learn how tweaking your running cadence, smart de-loading, trail running, strength training, and even changing your shoes can alleviate pain and get you back on track.
