re: hurtin

I’m in high school and have done xc for 2 years, had this injury for almost 6 months now in the middle of my indoor track season my sophomore year. Ive tried pt, resting, icing, stretching, core work, but so far Im really not seeing an improvement. Heard it could be because of my overpronation and flat feet but I wore shoes specifically to help with those issues, but I also heard it could be bc of core/flexibility issues that could have caused it. I tried running just a mile or so every few days after a few months off of running and doing pt but I still get pain, even on the stairs so I stopped running again....xc season is coming up in a couple months and it looks like I wont be able to participate.. any advice?

I've had it for about six months now. I can get up to ~30mpw, but most runs have pain and discomfort. About once a week I'll have a run where I say "Forget this, not even worth it anymore" because it's so painful.

Usually if I do squats and lunges before a run, it helps a bunch. But, most runs are pretty miserable for the first 30 minutes until things warm up, then it becomes miserable, well, because running is that way. I just started cycling more and running less.

re: hurtin

I wonder how eccentric exercises when standing on one leg can help to treat the knees? Because for me it is getting worse, inducing more pain. In my understanding that is because a big weight stands on one knee, damaging it more. "Excess weight puts added stress on joints, particularly knees, causing pain and worsening damage"

A good exercise is bend knee slightly then put all your weight on it

Reduce volume/intensity but keep running. Maybe shoot for one truncated workout a week if you’re trying to hang onto fitness. Avoid hills. Ice religiously after runs then ice a second time later in the day. Runner’s knee exercises every 3 days or so. Check out YouTube.

Assuming the pain is low to moderate. If you’re limping around, rest until you can execute the above measures.
