[quote=Anonymous]I'm 44 and foam roll, stretch and ice my knees after every run. My knees don't hurt when I run or after because I do this. I love to run, bike, swim and do yoga. I want to be able to do these things forever, so I make recovery and injury prevention key. So far it's been working. I rarely use motrin unless I am having pain. Then I will use it to help reduce inflammation just for a few days. Heel striking is hard on the knees. Slowly shifting to a more forefront strike will help. Major caution though on the minimalist shoes. I switched last spring to get faster. Broke them in as directed and ended up tearing my peroneal tendon, putting my most prized race ever at risk. Lots of people have been injured by switching to minimalist. It really works for some but you have to be very, very careful. [/quote]
