Subject: RE: 1/2 marathon after knee surgery I've had my knees scoped 3 times. After the 3rd one, I did my first run about 2 weeks afterwards and was back to marathon training at week 4 (ran the marathon just fine 4 months afterwards ). I did this because it felt good and I could tell that I wasn't doing damage.
Generally speaking, they say that 6 weeks is where you can resume normal activity. The good thing about running is that it will help break up the scar tissue that builds up from the procedure, and you should have a better long term recovery. Unless you've had a massive amout (75%+ ) removed, you should be able to run perfectly fine after recovery.
I'd say if it feels good, do it. Just make sure you can tell the difference between "it feels great" and "i want to run so badly that i force myself to believe that it feels great"
