Pain underneath knee

running is the worst exercise for your knees, I get TONS of patients that come in for knee pain. Go do swimming instead.

Well, it isn't really my knee that is bothering me. It's a muscle or something right below my knee. Tuberosity of tibia is what it is called I think.

I get this while squatting, it feels like there's a point in the bone that stresses so much it feels like it could break. I'm not treating it as a free pass to never squat again, but as my squat gets heavier I'm more unsure if I should keep doing it.

You're not a doctor.

Forgot to add that I have no idea what it is, but extensive googling suggests it may be poor ankle mobility (which I doubt) or relatively weak quads, which make sense given my tendency to lean forward during squats.

1) Fix your form. Land midfoot.
2) Watch how much pressure you put on when you land.
3) Check your cadence.
4) Vary your terrain if you can.
5) Check your shoes.
6) Slow the fuck down. You don't have to go fast all the time.

But anon. I gotta go fast.

Possibility. Is this the only terrain you have available? When possible, I usually do my long, slow runs on trails or at least pea gravel. This is mainly due to the fact that asphalt and many other hard surfaces can return a lot of force back into you. Softer surfaces will absorb more of the impact. This will give you a bit of rest from the repeated hard impacts.

Yes, the asphalt track is the only terrain available. I live in the middle of buttfuck nowhere so I've though about doing cross-country but no trails are available for me.

Only once or twice a week you do with 800-repeats and tempos.

can you run on the inside or outside of the track? like, on dirt or grass or whatever may be there? that'd be much better.

I started back at running some time ago and experience a pain on the back of my leg, directly behind my knee. It feels like I pulled something and I'm sure it's from forcing my stride to be to large in order to run faster instead of just slowing down to match it naturally. I just took some Advil, wrapped it while I slept, and made sure to stretch it a lot. After a week it was better.

Two things

1) Stop running

2) Stop being a fag
