at the end of last season, i had an ACL sprain and swelling in my knee joint. i had the issue as well of how much i could run when i started training again. along the way i came across kinesiology tape which has really helped a lot. I believe in the product so much now that i have actually started selling it myself here in the dallas area.

i started really slow and short. a few months down the line now and i have just signed up for a 70.3 in may. to date i have only done 2 sprint races but my kinesiology tape has given me the confidence and comfort that i am now running up to 6 miles and get stronger every week.

if you would like me to send you a sample, please let me know, there will be absolutely no cost to you at all.

you can have a look at the product and watch some of the videos at the link below.

i hope all goes well, keep us updated as to how things go.

there was also a study i saw a few weeks ago about walking on a very steep incline on the treadmill and how is has the same biomechanics and benefits as if you were running. that is a good low impact way to train.

good luck

I had an acl replacement one year ago in January, I started to run very slowly kinda a old man shuffle after 3 weeks (against medical advice) but have not have had any problems you need to be sure that your leg is strong in the quads and the calf before trying any running though. I did a sprint tri in June of that same year and finish strong. Good luck to you!
