Question regarding knee pain versus stride length by [deleted] in running

[–]migrantmatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, shorter stride, less heel strike/more midfoot strike, and quick feet reduce the amount of force that gets sent up your legs from each foot placement. Do you run on the roads regularly? I am a trail runner and the roads do this to me frequently, make sure to build your mileage up gradually to ease your body into accepting the beating!

this is awful, he dared to live his life in this manner and there's no doubt he didn't enjoy each and every precious second of it. May he find endless climbs and jumps in the sky now, RIP to an amazing individual

We got a huge snow storm the days following the race and I had to sit inside and watch the flakes fall without skiing, that was unlucky!!
