How to "Feed" Knees In Order Not to Feel Discomfort after Running
Question:
Good afternoon,
How to "feed" my knees in order not to feel discomfort after a long-term running? Usually, I drink BAAs (glucosamine and chondroitin) but the effect lasts 1-2 months only.

Good day,
Intake of BAAs is an absolutely justifiable measure. In my opinion, the fact that the effect lasts 1-2 months is really not bad at all. There are not so many substances that can keep their action for longer period of time.
As per discomfort in knees after long-term running - if we exclude pathology - I venture to suggest it's just a usual body's response to the load. Simply put, we can consider a discomfort as an adaptive process. I think, if you feel discomfort only after long-term running, there is no reason to worry.
However, I can recommend you to apply cold compress to the area of discomfort for 5-7 minutes in order to relieve discomfort right after a long training session. Also, after "cold bath" you can use such thermal recovery procedures as sauna or warm bath. Massage has a positive effect on the whole musculoskeletal system as well.

Knee Pain, Leg Numbless
Question:
Tendon injury, ligaments injury or ligament tension?
I trained on a conrete (25 km twice or three times a week) and after that I felt knee pain and my legs became numb from knees to feet. I felt a dragging pain in a week. It's been three months since then but the knee pain doesn't go away provided that there were no sharp pain, tumours, bruise, X-ray was clear. I'd taken a course of anti-inflammatory pills (glucosamin, collagen and chondroitin in complex).
