Early 30s, this year I had knee pain every time I when for a jog, the pain lasted 2 or 3 days each time, it lasted for over a month until I met with my brother who's a physiotherapist and gave me very simple advice:

  • warm up before running
  • run in smaller steps, large steps are harder on the knees
  • stop or take a break before it starts hurting
  • run more often, 3 times per week minimum

The pain was gone in 2~3 weeks. Has not came back since.

It's not always about the age, sometimes it's about doing things correctly or getting the right care.

    I'm in a similar boat. Can confirm that this is the way.

    I've had the most injuries in my life this year. Its just been one after another, but I think I've learned a lot about how to deal with them; especially the running injuries.

    I'm just very stubborn and I tend to overdo it and that backfires every time it seems.
