KNEE trouble

Advice?  Well, swim.  Too obvious.  RICE. You know that too.

Maybe a little advice about running may help once the knee is better.

1) Listen to your feet.  You should not hear anything.  I mean that your feet should strike the road so gently that they make almost no sound.  When you can hear the feet pounding the pavement, your knees are taking a beating.

2)Run with about 80 strides a minute.  Shorter, quicker, gentler strides prevent overstriding and landing too hard.

3)Back it down a notch.  Go shorter distance or slower or both.  Drop back to a stress level that your knee can tolerate.  Build back up on speed or distance once your body is fully adapted to that stress level.
