@ people who know how to run, does my knee hurt bc my body isn’t used to running?? or bc i aggregated it by running??

it’s given out on me a couple times in the past so it is a problem child…

(right account this time lmao)

@pastelsinmysky i dont really run anymore but knee problems for me were almost always a sign something was going on with my shoes that needed to be addressed (worn out, wrong style, etc)

you will also definitely feel it in all your little stabilizer muscles if you go harder than you’re comfortable with at your current level of conditioning, but usually i’d expect that to be a bit more diffuse (eg. my knees hurt but so do my ankles and i’ve discovered muscles i didnt know i had in my thighs and lower back) while just one part of the body hurting sounds a bit more concerning/like an injury?

@Satsuma thank you for the reply! yeah when i was first trying i def went from 0 to way more than that and my whole body hurt. a week later everything has chilled but the knee still hurts 🥴 but the conclusion seems to be that the rest of my body needs to strengthen up a bit bc it’s not used to doing much lol

@pastelsinmysky ah yeah that makes sense! In that case I’d guess it was just having pushed your knees a bit harder than the rest of your body / them being a bit weaker, and so taking a bit more time to recover
