Hey mate. Ardi here from the far north of Aotearoa in Kerikeri. Just seen this video and loving the way you deliver your content. Happily subscribed 🙂 Had a good laugh but more importantly was the message. Been running for the past 3months slowly building up towards a few ultra marathon events and have a Half Marathon coming up in November. Training has been going extremely well going from strength to strength… however, I may have pushed a lil too hard too soon and noticed after my long run of 27kms on sunday gone, right knee is saying hello.😅 glad you make content like this as I can address my situation with confidence and start paying more attention to my body and incorporate cross training into my schedule.. cheers 🥂

ive been doing 32km every single weekend for th last 2 years but since last weekend the left knee started to act up fearing it migh be minicus tear not realy super painfull but will stop running for a while now

I have runners knee. Thanks.

Been running for 7 months from 1km to 3 km to 5km daily 1day rest on sunday and now i have knee pain

Ty sir

I can lift weights regularly (squats, deadlifts, etc.), and get zero pain. Oddly, as soon as I run, I get knee pain afterwards. I never get the pain during. The swelling occurs afterwards and it slows any progress down because I’ll have to take 2-3 days off each time. Also, I get hip and medial knee pain together, so I don’t believe it’s ITB syndrome just based on the hip/knee pain location. It may be a gluteal or a form issue. I have t been to a specialist because the swelling goes down and it goes away after rest. 😏

I’m going to add this info into my training. Thank you.

People enjoy pushing the boundaries as running. I agree we need to listen to our body and take responsibilty for our bodies, minds, spirit. Focus on what you are able to and enjoy your workout, yet push yourself. Be responsible for your body.

Thanks for the great video! It's encouraging to hear your story with balancing running with a meniscus tear. I couldn't run for 9 years because of a torn meniscus (didn't know that's what it was until recently), even with lots of careful physio and cross training. My surgeon was confident it could be repaired with good chance of recovery, so I went ahead with it and stayed patient through a long, slow recovery (my meniscus was stitched together arthroscopically, not trimmed out, which apparently is a faster recovery but with higher chance of long-term damage/osteoarthritis). I have been carefully cross training and increasing mileage for the last 1.5 years, and I've been able to do 2 5k races and run 10 miles/week consistently without much discomfort. Your reminder to cross train, not push limits unnecessarily, and stretch and strengthen is very timely. I need to be careful these days to keep up with all of that and not get ahead of myself! So thankful to be running again! I loved hearing that there seem to be long-term benefits to running (wisely) with a torn meniscus.

That's my problem

I just did

What about walking?

Thank you.

Great advice 👍

If anyone sees this I could use an experienced runners advice. I've been training for my 1st half marathon. It's a week away. And around mile 8 my knees just below the knee cap start to really hurt. I started my lower body strength training too late for this race so I might have to push through it. But for my future full marathon I need to train correctly. What weight lifting exercises have you found that works to combat constant impact injuries?

Twisted my knee it swelled up then was clicking and locking , I’ve done it before but this time seems worse . Are knee sleeves a good idea I’ve a 10k run in 2 months 😮

Excellent advice! I have to admit I'm used to Aussies being quite tough on themselves, I would not have been surprised by a message of "just get on with it" But I think coach Brad is exactly right, one must be smart about knee issues, and above all patient. First do no harm, or perhaps better, "first, do no further harm"

Where exactly is this?

Thanks.
