Admirable..but strength and endurance training has different styles. Make sure you dont burn yourself out.

Yup, thanks..

Soldiers in the US do powerlifting and run a 10KM course daily. It's possible. Just gonna need loads of good food and supplementation and a right routine.

You'd do alright I think

wow... DAILY....

That's good news. Thx for the advice m8.

Erh...keep a good stock of fish oil though. There's no guarantee against knee injuries.

My friend messed his knee after a few months of jogging 10KM daily during his stint in national service for Singapore. 30KG excess weight+Bodyweight+10KM running=Not logical for healthy knees.

noted with much thanks. That is EXTREMELY very good advice. If not for this advice, maybe i would sustain an injury.

Thanks, well although i will be only running on alternate days, i will take your advice on the 'fish oil' supplements. I Will get one asap at the pharmacy tomorrow.

Thanks a million m8.

that's right, i have gone through ACL (left knee) reconstruction, it hurts.....

Wah... Thanks..
If you don't mind, may i ask, what (in your opinion) CAUSED it? Was it coz u were running without 'rest' days in between? Running with weights? Lack of supplements? How intense was your routine? Or was it a mix of running plus another activity, eg. soccer, basketball, etc..

Thanks in advance. Coz i can learn from your advice, and i will know what to AVOID then. Thanks..

yea..please let us know..im doing a high impact sport.. : basketball and i play as a forward....(luckily im not the centre..)........

of course i invested in good high cut basketball shoes..any other pointers to lower knee injury?

actually, it depends on strength of ur hamstring and quadriceps... if yours are weak, the stress will go to ur knee + ur knee "berpusing" during ur landing, i get that injury first becoz of highly extreme tackle from opposite side...
strength of ur hamstring and quadriceps are not major factor, becoz profesional footballers also get that injury becoz of highly extreme tackle, for pivot sport (like basketball, volleyball, futsal), i recommend u to go to gym to do exercise...

if u overuse of ur leg, it will become weak....

if u don't go to gym, u can do skipping, squating and many more (i dunno name of my exercise) to strengthening ur hamstring and quadriceps....
i'm also lazy to go to my university gym eventhough it is free ....


do warm-up before basketballing.. go to gym once in a fortnight or a week......
make sure u cover all aspect of ur body...
and don't wear bigger size shoes...

I see. Thanks.

What type of activity were u doing that made u need to go for ACL reconstruction? (e.g. what activity damaged your knee?) You were halfway playing soccer? basketball? jogging?

hey bro..i gym about 3-4 times a week...wear correct size shoes..anything else?

Any sport, that has an involvement of lateral pressure/force involvement, has a risk of having ACL injuries.
Especially at speed.

Hate someone? Ask them to run 30 meters and at 20 meters, take a club and hit the outside part of the knee and watch it crumble.

....ouch...

i want to try many more sport and i'm still young...
if i'm 50++ years old, i just let it go...

i think so, based on my experiences and reading internet...
and how to detect it http://orthopedics.about.com/cs/aclrepain/a/acl_2.htm

yes, i was tackled like that before in futsal costed me half-semester MC last semester and failed 2 subjects....
and +-rm3000 for my ACL reconstruction in general hospital... in private hospital, it is rm13k
