this is getting complicated.Originally posted by R3SsH|n:u have a poor running technique... -
when my foot lands on ground..there is this pain..dont tink is acheOriginally posted by dranoel maxwell:Well what's your defination of pain? isit sharp pain or aching??? If it's aching is think perfectly normal... just continue to jog and the ache will disappear...
If it's a pain then i think it's due to improper warm up or too much stress is put into your calf when you run due to the way you run.... -
I have this problem too, and my doctor told me that jogging puts a lot of stress on ur kneecaps since the track/road u are jogging are uneven. And that if I continue jogging, my kneecap will give way sooner than later, before I reach 25.Originally posted by dragg:My knee hurts when jogging.
any idea whats wrong?
And I heard u mention ur height/weight. Which is also one of the reason why ur kneecap is hurting. I am 1.69m short, 73 kg. I used to be obese, weighting at 88kg. Usually, overweight people will find jogging to be painful, for some reason.
I have a way to not make the knee cap so painful, which is do warm up exercises which target the knees. That causes your knees to kinda warm up, and when jogging, lesser stress is on ur knees. -
i feel it too.Originally posted by borntolive:when my foot lands on ground..there is this pain..dont tink is ache
took a day's rest and its ok. -
You may have early stage osteo-arthritis i.e. excessive wearing out of your knee joints.
Or you might have some cartilage tear or minor wearing.
Recommend: Drink lots of water (for fluid recovery) or Milk (enhances your calcium banks) for bone strength and recovery.
Do proper stretching before any exercise. And run gradually....i.e. 3km, 5km, 10km, 21 km etc etc ....
Swimming is still the best bet though, as long term your knees will suffer. -
its either ur runnin technique or the way u land ur legs...knee will nt ache coz there ain't muscles there...Originally posted by dragg:i feel it too.
took a day's rest and its ok.
do u stamp very hard while runnin?
it culd b u pound very hard...hence puttin a lot of pressure on ur knees...n to make things worst u juz started runnin a wk ago....
otherwise ur technique is nt proper causin irregular movements....
try runnin on the field(grass) instead of the track...it might help as field has a softer surface...den slowly progress to track....
check ur runnin posture n hw u land...cushion ur legs when it land on the ground...dun put all ur weight dwn... -
U probably have the worst running technique!

The average lifespan of a pair of running shoes is about 9 to 12 months, if you run once a week. If more frequently, the lifespan is 6 to 9 months. Coz if the shoes are worn beyond its lifespan, even though they look okay (not tearing blah), the cushioning will not be effective anymore. Knees may hurt.Originally posted by dragg:i am wearing the new balance shoe provided by the army.
it should be ok since soldiers run with it everyday. -
tat's overweight!Originally posted by dragg:75kg, 1.60m short. -
i know.Originally posted by plump:tat's overweight! -
overweight ppl shouldn't do too much of jogging. control diet, eat what's is enough, then swimming. playing basketballOriginally posted by dragg:i know. -
I'm guessing that u are probably a gal.....well ur knee probably hurts due to these reasons:
1. Pre-exercise warm-ups
2. Type of shoes worn
3. Place where u run
1 - As most people said, without proper warm-up, u get these but it shldnt occur often. Also there are some minorities like someone I know who dun need much warm-up yet can be more active, agile & flexible than others who warm-up.
Anyway, I doubt this is your case.
2 - The type of shoes & paddings in it affects alot. FYI, not all shoes provided by the army is good. In fact if its the blue-yellow new balance shoes, u can discard that. It's the worst running shoes ever cos many complained its causes more ankle twists & strains than others despite its thick paddings.
It is chosen because its one of the few cheapest lots available.
For good running shoes, look for those that are labelled 'Running Shoes' or 'Cross-training' type.
I forgot the details in looking out for the difference in these but I recall its gotta do with the shoe tip & the traction studs below.
Cross-training shoes lasts longer & is the best if u wear your shoes for all purposes including for your runs.
No matter what, padding is always impt & get extra if your shoes does not have ample paddings, esp at the heel area.
3 - Place where u run also affects if the terrain is not the regular running tracks.
Best would be under MRT tracks or running in the park.
Of course get a partner to run with u if u are a gal.
Last of all, if u feel any sore/pain after an exercise, massage the area & take note if it still hurts 2 days after that. Do not aggreviate it by exercising further if its a sports injury. Also consult a doctor if it gets severe.
Hope this helps...^^ -
your knee ligaments have probably been worn out...
