In this episode, we take a deep dive into one of the most common issues faced by runners: knee pain. Whether you're a seasoned marathoner or a weekend jogger, chances are you've felt that familiar ache or sharp twinge in your knee at some point.

Next, we explore tendinitis, where inflammation of the patellar or quadriceps tendons can cause persistent discomfort. We also cover ligament strains and how even minor sprains can affect performance and stability. The episode then moves into iliotibial band (ITB) syndrome, a frequent culprit of lateral knee pain in long-distance runners.

We’ll also discuss meniscus tears, particularly how twisting injuries or wear over time can lead to pain, swelling, and mobility issues. Finally, we touch on osteoarthritis—what it means for runners and how to manage or modify your training if you’re dealing with degenerative changes in the joint.
