To start out my name is Barry and I am 36 years old and I
would like to reach a goal of running a half marathon under two hours. I have
been going by the runner’s world smart coach, for running a half marathon in
two hours. But I am looking for some help from other runners out there. Here is
my problem; I keep having left knee problems my muscles in my knee keep swelling.
I have bought new shoes, my knee adjusted by a chiropractor, take ice baths or ice
knee from twenty minutes a day but not every day, take 800 mg of ibuprofen
before I run, started running on a treadmill, tried wearing a knee brace but did not help one bit, new insoles
for my shoes, and take time off from running last of all lots of prayer. The problem is when I start feeling the pain
it is like a dull pain that keeps getting worse as I keep going on, but when I stop
the pain stops and when I start to run the pain comes back. I hope you have
some suggestions to help me out. Thanks for the help Barry
