Active Monkey Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 As topic says the last 2 weeks i have a very weak Pain in front of knee slightly below knee cap. I have not changed bike set up of anything along those lines? I did do a 7 km run around 3 weeks ago that definitely over exerted me and think that might have been the issue as im not a runner.. Any ideas?

And go and get fitted for new running shoes by someone who knows what they are doing - SBR in Rivonia or Jakes in the Dunkeld centre - forget what his shop is called.

'Dale Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 You're right there, OP.Running must be incorporated carefully. Although you are cardiovascularly fit to run 7 and more kms, your body just isn't used to that activity.

AdrianDJ Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Hi Jacques, everything above, sounds like you could also have a tight quad muscle form the run... try stretching the quad out and also use a foam roller on your quad. Should help Active Monkey 1

Actualy got "proper fit" from the sweatshop in dunkeld. And got the shoes they recommended. But my cycling is my thing so decided to stop this running business
V12man Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Hey V12, I would be very keen to hear about the negative effects.I have heard it being said before The normal side effect most people experience is gastro intestinal pain and upset. The BIG concern for endurance athletes is impairment to kidney function - with possible complete kidney failure too - the exact incidence of this is not completely clear, but I can personally introduce you to 2 cyclists that have had MAJOR issues... both are extremely luck to not be on long term dialysis and looking for transplant donors... I have posted about this before on the hub - including journal articles - not sure how much survived the great crash though.

But my cycling is my thing so decided to stop this running business A little cross training is a good thing... a little... but running you have to build up and develop the impact resistance in the muscles - so keep below 4km a couple of times a week and you should be good to go - if you think it's not enough - just run faster...

Thanks sir I know about the kidneys and kidney failure, I have actually written my sad/shocking story about what I went through afar a 24 hour.Is their any impact on the heart ?

Think that was my prob went from 3 to 5 km runs straight up to almost 8
