I'm 36 in good health and im not repeat not going to seek medical help, its a knee problem i've dealt with all my life.</p><p>So i popped my knee out 2 weeks ago while walking dow stairs, i have stayed off it for the past two weeks Ice pack and plenty rest solved the first stage of the injury. Now i know i cannot run on my knee so i've started to cycle in the gym instead, to mim the pressure on my knee, i do not feel any pressure doing this so i think i will continue.</p><p>My question is, What type of training should i be doing while my knee is off limits to insure i can run in the november marathon? again i was up to 13 mil long run once a week and i felt fine afterwards, and 3x 5mile runs midweek</p><p>any tips will be freatly appreciated thanks</p><p>Shane</p></div><!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:20772669-31e1-4b7a-9286-89405571fc9e] --> Thu, 16 Aug 2012 22:28:22 GMT guest http://community.active.com/message/1249867?tstart=0#1249867 2012-08-16T22:28:22Z 9 months, 5 days ago 1 0
