TRAINING TIP OF THE WEEK
Patella Tendonitis: This is pain and inflammation in the soft tissue just below the kneecap, or where it connects to the tibia, just below.
Treatment of Knee Injuries:
-Ice massage: Keep a Styrofoam cup in the freezer for this. Ice twice a day, 10 minutes on, 20 off, 10 on.
-Don’t run for at least 2-3 days to get the healing started, longer for a more advanced injury. When you start running again, do it very little at first, every other day.
-No speedwork or hills for at least two weeks, or until the soreness is gone. Knee injuries usually take more time because we run on them and aggravate them.
-Even when it seems healed, continue icing, reduce mileage and avoid speed and hills for two weeks.
