Luckily for anyone who wants to run a marathon, this means that runner’s knee is preventable. Thus, it is not jogging that is the issue, it is the persistent training which worsens an existing condition or creates a new problem altogether. This can permanently damage the cartilage and lead to lifelong problems. The true cause of runner’s knee is when a trauma is sustained and then a person runs on the injured joint. However, running alone is not enough to cause such damage. A common misconception is that, over time, this erodes the cartilage leading to bone-on-bone friction and resulting pain. Running is a high-stress activity because we push down our weight with a force that 4-8 times higher than a low-intensity walk. While our weight doesn’t change during these activities, the force we put on our knees does. The knees support the body’s weight whenever we stand, walk or run. Today’s blog will explain the cause of this and how you can avoid damaging your body. However, a frequent complaint amongst marathon runners is knee pain – commonly referred to as ‘runner’s knee’. For those who are trying to improve their general fitness, the training regime provides long-term structure and an end goal for motivation. If you enjoy jogging, it demonstrates a high level of ability and endurance. Running a marathon is something everyone should do at least once in their life.
