Hey, Advicenators!
I injured the ligiments, tendons, nerves in my right knee along with the hamstring. I used to be able to jog a mile in 12 minutes (uphill) without my knee hurting. I could run the mile (uphill) in seven minutes without my knee hurting. Now, I have a hard time jogging four hundred yards! I'm taking it 'slow', walking.. blah.. but, I'm now walking about three miles (once again, uphill) every day, and I can jog about 400 yards (you got it, uphill) without pain.. but I want to be as good - or better - as I was before I hurt my knee.
I stretch before I exercise, and I walk a little more than a mile three times a day, and I jog half a mile once a day. I love swimming, but it's still a little cool for that. How can I get my knee in top condition for this summer, swimming and such?
Thanks!
