Hi people,
Seeking for your experiences on how to recover from knee and ankle injury from running. I know that I have to rest these joints, but it feels like it's taking too long to recover I feel bit scared.
Bit of background, I'm just half or 1kg overweight mid 30s. I run for health, no serious target or anything. Usually 30 minutes in the evening every 2-3 days while waiting for evening rush traffic to clear. Started this habit feb this year.
I might have pushed it bit too much for me when I try to run with faster pace last month. It has been like 3 weeks now with this pain.
It wasn't that painful in the beginning - just dull pain in front of knee and upper knee when I really strain it, so I try casual walk around taman, to my surprise it became worse lol. Now my left ankle is all stiffed up.
And what other exercise I can do in the evening that doesn't involve walking?
1. I have 100% been where you were. You can go acupuncture, chiro, use muscle relaxant, massage etc and it will still nag you. But I'm back on my feet and hitting half marathons on a weekly basis now. The 'cure'? thanks to Covid lockdowns - 1 YEAR absolutely no running at all - then 1 fine day decided to resume running, viola! The nagging knee pain is gone - so yes, REST THOSE KNEES! But no single human is the same, what took me a year+ could be lesser or more for you.Seeking for your experiences on how to recover from knee and ankle injury from running.

2. You can do the One Punch Man routine, minus the 10KM runs. 100x sit-ups, push-ups and squats. <- I did that, got the V-line in under 3 months. The problem (for me) is not the quantity/reps, is the discipline to do it everyday. First month build up from 10x (serious ah, when you gemuk and just started, 10x already very sakit) to 30x to 50x, second month push to 100x. Fell off the wagon after 2 bouts of influenza, can't find the ooomph to kickstart again (malas le tu)
but 100% can be done at home, or the park, gym too if that's your thing.anyhoo, keyword to fix your knee - REST - DON'T STRESS it
