Running without knee pain is not too far fetched. You can run without having knee pain that limits you, stops you, kills your momentum or your running goals for the month. This is going to be possible for you by addressing a few areas that need fixing before you run without knee pain. Once you address these things, you won’t be hindered to perform your best.
3 Reasons Why You Aren’t Running Without Knee Pain:
1. You have poor or ineffective form - Sometimes the form that you are running with makes a big difference as to why you have pain in the area that you have it in. So changing your form can make a huge difference in your running. This tip is especially important if you’re an athlete in sports like basketball, soccer, and the like. To fix your form, trying to incorporate different types of form in your running during the game will help you a lot. When you do this, it helps to disperse the force that is placed upon your lower body parts (ankles, knees, hips). Instead of putting pressure in the same area, it spreads the pressure to several areas. Your running form will make a really big impact and there’s not only one right way to run with good form.
2. You have poor muscular endurance - Fortunately, you can strengthen your muscles to have greater endurance so that on the latter portion of your run the muscles that are responsible for stabilizing your joints will still be working effectively. What a lot of people don’t realize is that by the time they are at the latter portion of their fitness activity or run, the certain activity that was stabilizing their joints are kind of tired and aren't performing well anymore. This is what causes more pressure in your joints and leads to slow, gradual injuries. The best way to build your endurance is by doing exercises that train your muscles in an endurance based fashion. You should also be able to sustain contractions and activity over a long period of time.
3. You have poor recovery habits - Something that a lot of people don’t do is have good recovery habits, even though they are a very big deal. If you don’t take care of your body after your activity then that makes a very big difference in your body’s speed of recovery. When you don’t have the right habits, the next time you go into an activity, your body will still be trying to recover from the last event and you’d be putting more strain on it. So having a recovery process will speed up your recovery, help you heal your joints, and improve the stability of your joints (knee, ankles, hips).
