I’m planning on getting in on this this year, I started of late last year at the heaviest weight I’ve ever been 205lbs + so I started C25K to lose weight and I finished it, and I actually started to enjoy the runs. Probably had around 75 miles in last year until my knee started hurting. So I’m taking a few weeks off to let the knee rest and I set the goal for this year of 500 miles.
Any tips for reducing knee injury while running? |

Well as bad as I hated to do so, I backed off from the marathon distance to the half marathon distance in Baton Rouge in 2 weeks. I signed up for the marathon and have been training with a sub 4hr marathon as a goal. I had someone else training to run it with me. I used St Jude's in Memphis as a trial run and ended up injured. My plantar fasciitis flared up pretty bad, to the point it pretty much stopped my training. I've been doing the minimum to keep a fitness level, yet let my foot heal. The person I was training with backed out altogether this morning, so I decided to back off to the half to avoid nay further injury. I'm still taking it easy but feel pretty confident I can PR my half.

So, today was already supposed to be my day off, but I wasn't planning on hobbling around all day. That right foot is still swollen up and painful on the lateral side. Not sensitive to touch/massage, and gets tolerable to walk on once it's "broken in" walking around. Hell when I first wake up.
My question is, had anyone had this experience when starting to really push running? Any ideas on how to get back to normal? It's in ice water right now. I'm guessing there's some specific stretching I could be doing to prevent it further. I have to be back in hooks climbing poles in a week. |

View Quote Looking at the webs I figured it was Peroneal Tendinosis. I kept running on it but it got worse and eventually my IT band started hurting. I had to take some time off and let all the inflammation go down. I learned to stretch and roll the outsides of my legs from heel to back. It made a huge difference. TLDR. You probably twisted your ankle. Stay off it for a bit, keep icing, take some anti inflammatories. Once the swelling is down work on stretching the outside of your leg and roll it. |

I aim for 20 miles a week, but realistically, know that don't usually quite make that goal. During Q4 of 2018, for example, I attained it 4 times. For 2019, My goal for the year is going to be 700- though I am endeavoring for 20 a week.
For the week of 30 DEC 2018 through 5 JAN 2019, I logged 20 miles. I had a 2mi on 30 DEC 2018 and a 3mi on 31 DEC 2018, so that puts me at 15 miles YTD. (my run for today is forthcoming) --/15 |

Bummer, but there is no reason to injure yourself if you already can't perform. Regroup and come back stronger for the next race. View Quote 3/15.68 |

Quoted: I'm going on a sheep hunt in Alaska in August. If it weren't for that I'd risk the injury. No way in hell I'm missing out on a once in a lifetime hunt. Truth be told hunting out west is the reason I got into running anyway. 3/15.68 View Quote |

Quoted: This was me running 18 miles per week 3 6 mile runs with a 30lb ruck all year. I was at 217 the day this picture was taken and was doing 12+ hours of manual labor every day. It's all diet at that point. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/433221/1zdqaki_th_png-794253.JPG View Quote I’m 5’7” , 165 and have been since 2003. With a large calorie diet I barely gain any weight even with minimal running. I am good at running and rucking with minimal maintenance so for me I would rather keep the weight I have without have to focus all my energy on eating. I can run, ruck, strength train all with a reasonable diet and stay at a steady and lean 165-170 lbs. |

I've got to get back in the habit of waking up early to run. Going out after work isn't going to cut it. |
