When pain sets in, every stride becomes a compromise. You run slower, shorter distances, frustrated that you no longer feel free and able to perform at your best. However, giving up is not an option: the key is to find the best strategy, tailored to your abilities and requirements. Listening to your body, progressing at your own pace and choosing the tools that suit you best is what allows you to keep running for longer and enjoy it.
Among runners, common causes of knee pain include overuse, poor technique and muscle imbalances due to a lack of muscle strengthening. When used judiciously, ankle weights provide gentle, regular stimulation: they engage the stabilising muscles and help to distribute the effort more evenly without disrupting your stride.
