Hi

I generally run about 5-8 miles a day 5-6 days a week upon lifting and swimming. I was just wondering if there's a good way to avoid sore knees during and after runs? Would anything like shoes or form affect this problem? Or would just a good iceing following a long run help? Its not a horrible intollerable pain but I'd be a lot happier if I didn't have it lol :rolleyes:

Thanks

Dustin
 
Shoes definetely, I personally have several different shoes for different purposes, racing wise, fell shoes for fell races, racing flats for road races, racing spikes for muddy cross country races, and track spikes for track races. For training I tend to wear much more cussioned shoes, and as i have tendencies to overpronate (a common cause of knee problems), they have an anti-pronation block on the inside of the sole running from the heel to the midsole. My advice is to go to a reputable shoe store (some will even look at your technique for you to tell you if your over pronating etc etc), and ask a few questions regarding your knees, and in more cases than not, they'll be happy to advise you and give you and answer any questions you have. But yes in conclusion, shoes play a major role in running injuries.
