Good afternoon.

If I get it right, you're a professional athlete. The term "sport career" gives me a reason to think so. In this case I can tell the following. I began to run systemically when I was 17 being at school. Before that, I was engaged in everything haphazardly. I liked sport in all its manifestations: basketball, football, running, ski races.

My sport career lasted 18 years until I was 35 years old. And during my career I had no serious injuries or operations. It was possible due to the late start of a runner's career (specialization) and the competent coach who led me to the heights without forcing the process.

So, answering your question I can say the more correct your training process will be organized in terms of loads and recovery the longer you will keep your shape. You need to be able to not only work but relax. With age, you should more carefully arrange your diet using collagen and chondroitin to support joints condition.

Old Partial Meniscal Tear
Question:

Good afternoon,

MR showed old partial meniscal tear.

Sharp pain occurred after running a 9 km and I had to complete my half-marathon distance by walking with broad strides or switching to a race walking in order not to feel the pain.

During a half year I had three attacks of pain. But there was no pain after short runs (7-10 km). Now I gave my knee a week to rest and recover.

What can you recommend? How to recover and return to the earlier level? I'll have to run another race and hope I won't damage the meniscus absolutely(((.

Recovery after "Light" Injuries
Question:

Good afternoon.

I run a little over half-year. Taking my fitness level and frequency of trainings into consideration I can say that I'm a novice, not even amateur runner.

Unfortunately, even during this short period I had injuries. A month ago I pulled ligaments of ankle joint in the result of failed landing (my leg slipped), it hurt for a long time. Now a new misfortune: a discomfort in the area of hip joint is felt for a couple of days.

These injuries are not so serious to consult a doctor, so I use ointment and do breaks in training. Now I more or less understand something about prevention but when injuries happens...Are there any working exercises or other rehabilitation methods that should be used but not after severe injuries?

Thank you!
