A couple of people have mentioned barefoot running, and those who I know who do barefoot run rave about it like you; it is certainly something I will look in to.dk_knowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00099200110517424012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2954692152730259414.post-34789562042841592822013-01-23T23:37:20.742-08:002013-01-23T23:37:20.742-08:00Hey David - just read your guest post over at Jay&...Hey David - just read your guest post over at Jay's blog, so thought I'd pop across and see yours. <br /><br />Sounds like your knee's a right bother - I haven't had any significant injury in the year and a bit I've been running, but I did get significant knee pain about four months in, and was at the point of going to see a physio, maybe a podiatrist and that kind of thing.<br /><br />To cut a long story short, I didn't do any of that, because I started running in barefoot shoes (not the ones with the toes, normal looking ones) and found I had none of the knee pain whatsoever. I've not looked back, never had any knee pain since.<br /><br />Just thought it worth mentioning, as it improved things an awful lot for me - transitioning to barefoot takes a bit of work, starting with a few hundred easy metres and working up, as your calves will feel the difference first. My knee pain was like you describe, outside of the knee, dreadful when going downstairs.<br /><br />Good luck with the recovery!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
