    i also run 5 days a week. sometimes 6 :| is this bad?


    Honestly?? It's VERY bad. Seriously.

    Please explain?


    was running every day , 6-7 days a week, 2x5k, 3x10k 1x10 mile+ long run ( clerarly not a fitness issue)

    BOOM....injury to knee and 10 weeks of pain.

    Physiotherapist at pro soccer team, hospital physio , 2 qualified osteopaths and an orthopaedic surgeon ALL said unequivocally 6 days a week was too much running.

    No offence, but I value the advice of these people more than I do to of the 'internet people'.

    For you. How many elites or even sub elites run only 5 days a week? None.

    And your 34 miles a week is hardly high volume.
    ^ This.

    Just curious after reading your profile and all the running you have listed, what knee injury did you sustain?

    I'd bet a dollar to a doughnut that is was something related to a sport other than running.

    and...you can also assume that the advice from "these people" is for one person (you) who is doing too much too soon for their real fitness level, and probably has other joint issues on top of that, and it does not mean it applies to the general running population that may not have the same issues.
