How to deal with knee pain after running?

My knee hurts after running, so I can't continue running. It's better to stop and have a rest or slow down. If you have a knee injury, you need to seek medical attention in time.

1. Knee pain after running may be caused by wrong running posture and inappropriate running shoes. When knee pain is found, slow down and shorten the distance between the finish line and the current position. If your knee still hurts after running, take a full rest and reduce the intensity of running the next day. If the knee still hurts the next day, you can do some rehabilitation training.

2. Due to repeated contraction of thigh muscles and repeated flexion and extension of knee joint during running, the patellar tendon ligament is under excessive pressure; When the pressure reaches a certain level, it is easy to cause slight damage to the patellar tendon ligament. In the long run, local aseptic inflammation, degeneration, brittleness and even tearing of patellar tendon may occur. At first, it will cause tiny tears in the tendon of the knee (patella). At this time, your body will try to repair these injuries. Therefore, in order to reduce the injury and promote the relief of knee pain, if you find knee pain during running, you can stop insisting. You should slow down and get used to the transition from fast walking to slow walking.

Is it better to run every day or every other day

There is no clear definition of running well every day or every other day. New runners need to run every other day, but new runners are not suitable for running every day. For those who have a certain fitness foundation and master the correct running methods, if they really want to run, it is recommended to run for up to two days. For runners who need to participate in the whole marathon, they should also follow the principle of avoiding overload running. In order to prevent physical injury, they run for two days at most, and then rest and recover with their physical condition.

The best time to run every day

According to the research, 9 am to 10 and 4 pm to 6 pm are the best running times. From 9 am to 10, the air is fresh and the oxygen content is high. The level of adrenocortical hormone in the body reaches the peak, which mobilizes the effective operation of all organs in the body. If you are healthy, you will feel focused, energetic and passionate. Exercise has the least adverse effect on the digestive system.
