As a football player I have a history of knee surgery ( 7 times) and have also been a runner for more than 20 years.  I am always looking for the trick to allow me/help me run more and run regularly. 

I have run several marathons and have found that my knees are in much better shape as a result of the running and activity. I hope to keep doing it and keep MY KNEES and help others overcome some leg issues.

I have recently found that careful warmup and stretching of my calves and ankles has given my knees some relief.  Like suspension and shocks on a car the ankles and calf muscles absrob a lot of impact and give my knees some relief from the potential abuses of running.

I have  dealt with minor leg issues by addresing running style and stride.

Landing a little more forward on my feet has limited the impact my legs/knees feel as I run.  Avoiding the heel strike so popular for so many years.

Knees are fine i occasionally struggle with Plantar fasciitis ( I double checked spelling on Wiki...)

When it flares I get ankle pain on other foot- I know why that happens but how to deal with the foot problems?

Got some help with experts at a running store.  had great info and ideas on shins, hip and knees.

Shoes also helped but other knowledge was collected there.

Ice what a special/easy tool.   Twisted my ankle and soaked for next 24 hours and pain down to nothing

Bathtub filled with cold water and and an 8 lb bag of ice- is wonderful for pain an REALLY cools you off in summer.

GREAT tool.
