Скачать или смотреть My Plan to Fix Bad Knees for Running in 2026 | Road to 5K

Can I actually fix my knees for running in 2026? After a complete "whitewash" in 2025 where my knees gave out just as I was making progress, I’m back with a new strategy to get from 3.5K to a consistent Parkrun 5K—without the pain.

In this video, I’m breaking down my "mythical 3.5K" rule, why I’m alternating between treadmill sessions and trail runs in the Lincolnshire Wolds, and the specific running gear I’m using to absorb the shock.

What’s in this video:

The Gear: Why I’m using the Nike Vaporfly 4 for the gym (it’s like walking on air!) and Hoka for the trails.

The Strategy: Why 3.5K is my current "safe zone" to avoid being unable to walk for two weeks.

The Locations: Stunning trail running at Walesby and my plans for Nettleton Top/The Viking Way.

The Goal: Getting back to Parkruns and eventually hitting 7K-10K distances.

If you’ve ever dealt with "runner's knee" or felt like you’re constantly starting back at square one, this journey is for you. It’s all about consistency, listening to your body, and finding the right gear to keep you moving.
