When your knee starts hurting mid-run… what’s your move?

Do you:
👉 Push through it
👉 Slow it down
👉 Or stop completely

Most runners fall into one of these camps, and the choice you make can either help you… or keep you stuck in the injury cycle.

The truth is, not all knee pain should be treated the same.
But understanding your instinctive reaction is the first step to figuring out what’s actually going on.

So let’s hear it 👇
What do YOU usually do when knee pain shows up?

And if you’ve been dealing with something that just won’t go away, drop a quick description too. That’s how we create content that actually helps you.

Comment below:
➡️ Push through
➡️ Slow down
➡️ Stop

tell us where your knee hurts and how long it’s been going on 👇

Doing the “right” exercises… but still stuck in pain?

I see this all the time.

I recently worked with an athlete who had been dealing with inner knee pain for YEARS.

She was:
✔️ Doing her exercises
✔️ Getting treatments (PRP, hyaluronic acid)
✔️ Staying consistent

But the pain kept coming back.

Why?

Because it wasn’t just about what she was doing…
It was about how she was doing it.

Here’s what we found:
– Poor knee control (caving in during movement)
– Lack of stability in single-leg and plyometric work
– Loss of body awareness from past injuries/surgeries
– Feeling exercises in the WRONG muscles

Example:
She’d do deadlifts… but feel it mostly in her hamstrings
➡️ Result: irritation + new issues (hamstring tendon pain)

This is the trap:
You can be consistent… motivated… doing all the “right” things…

…but if your body isn’t using the right muscles at the right time, you stay stuck.

Or worse, you create new problems.

The goal isn’t just to do exercises.

It’s to:
✔️ Feel them in the right place
✔️ Control your movement
✔️ Rebuild that mind-body connection

Sometimes that requires guidance, even if the exercises look simple.

Be honest, have you been doing exercises but not seeing results? 👇

Or feeling them in the wrong areas?

Drop a comment or DM me and let’s figure out what’s missing.

If your knee caves in...even a little...it adds up fast.

That small movement?
Over hundreds… thousands… of steps?

That’s where pain starts to build.

One of the biggest issues I see with athletes dealing with knee pain is poor control of that inward knee collapse.

This exercise helps fix it 👇

Split stance squat + band resistance

Why it works:
✔️ Forces your body to resist knee collapse
✔️ Improves hip engagement (where control SHOULD come from)
✔️ Builds strength + awareness at the same time

Key focus points:
– Band is pulling your knee inward
– You actively drive your knee OUT over your foot
– Move slow and controlled
– Stay balanced and stable throughout

Bonus:
If driving your knee out reduces pain while doing this… you’re on the right track.

That’s your body telling you what it needs.

Try this out and let me know 👇
Do you notice your knee caving in during workouts or runs?

Let’s figure out your knee pain 👇

Not all knee pain is the same… and where it hurts matters.

So I want you to do this:

👉 Point to where your knee hurts
Is it:
– Top?
– Bottom?
– Inside?
– Outside?
– Multiple spots?

Because that location gives HUGE clues into what’s actually going on.

Now take it one step further:

📸 Send a picture (DM) pointing exactly to the spot
📝 Include a quick description:
– How long has it been there?
– When does it hurt most?
– What activities make it worse?

This helps us narrow things down and point you in the right direction—whether that’s:
✔️ A simple adjustment
✔️ A training tweak
✔️ Or getting in front of the right specialist

The more specific you are, the better we can help.

Outer knee pain ≠ automatically IT band syndrome.

This is one of the biggest mistakes I see runners make.

Pain on the outside of the knee can come from multiple sources, including:
✔️ Patellofemoral pain (runner’s knee)
✔️ IT band syndrome
✔️ Load/stress issues at the kneecap
✔️ Hip weakness or control deficits

And treating them all the same? That’s how you stay stuck.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

🔹 Patellofemoral pain (runner’s knee)
– Pain right along the outer edge of the kneecap
– Worse with stairs, squats, sitting for long periods
– Often sharper, more localized

🔹 IT band syndrome
– Pain more on the outside of the knee (slightly above the joint line)
– Worse with downhill running
– May feel tight or irritated as the knee bends and straightens
– Sometimes discomfort slightly below the knee as well

Different problem = different solution.

If you’re guessing… you’re gambling with your progress.

The fastest way to get back to running pain-free is understanding:
1️⃣ Where the pain is coming from
2️⃣ Why it’s happening
3️⃣ What you specifically need to fix it

If you’ve been dealing with outer knee pain, drop a comment below 👇
Where exactly do you feel it?

Or DM me if you want help figuring it out and getting a plan in place.

Stop guessing. Start fixing.

Knee hurting during step downs? This might be why.

If you’re dealing with pain around the kneecap (runner’s knee), your strategy matters just as much as the exercise itself.

Most people do this:
➡️ Drive the knee forward
➡️ Stay upright
➡️ Load the quads heavily

That = more stress on the front of the knee 👎

Instead, try this:
✔️ Sit your hips back
✔️ Allow a slight forward torso lean
✔️ Keep core engaged
✔️ Control the movement slowly

Why this works:
– Shifts load from knee → hips (glutes)
– Reduces stress on the kneecap
– Improves control and stability
– Lets you move through more range with less pain

If you need to, use support (wall, railing, etc.) to offload just enough while you build strength.

Key mistake to avoid:
❌ Letting your low back round or tucking your hips under
(you’ll feel this shift stress right back to the knee)

Think: hips back, chest slightly forward, controlled movement.

Try this adjustment and let me know 👇
Did it reduce your knee pain?

If step downs have been bothering you, drop your questions below or DM me.

Save this for later so you don’t forget.

The difference between athletes who improve… and those who stay stuck?

It’s not talent.

It’s your training structure.

Most people focus on what they’re doing:
🏃♂️ Miles
🚴♂️ Workouts
🏋️ Strength sessions

But the real progress comes from how it’s all structured.

Ask yourself:
– Do you have enough rest days?
– Are you balancing hard and easy workouts?
– Is your intensity matched to your volume?
– Are you actually recovering… or just pushing through?
– Do you include deload weeks?
– Are you strength training and cross-training?

Because here’s the truth:

A random collection of “good workouts” won’t get you very far.

A well-structured plan will.

Every workout should have intention.
Every rest day should have purpose.
Every phase of your training should build on the last.

That’s how you create consistent, long-term progress.

Not burnout. Not plateaus.

Be honest, does your current training plan have structure? 👇
Or are you just piecing things together week to week?

Drop your thoughts below.

If you’re feeling stuck or not seeing progress, DM me and let’s figure out what’s missing.

What’s one win you had this week?

Big or small...it doesn’t matter.

Too often we move straight to the next goal without acknowledging what we’ve already done. But those small wins?

That’s where momentum is built.

That’s where confidence grows.

That’s what keeps you consistent.

Whether it was:
✔️ Finishing a tough workout
✔️ Getting out the door when you didn’t feel like it
✔️ Staying consistent with your training
✔️ Prioritizing recovery
✔️ Or just showing up for yourself

It all counts.

And when you share it, you don’t just reinforce it for yourself—you inspire someone else in this community to keep going.

If you’re feeling stuck, beat up, or constantly tired… it might be time to deload.

Most endurance athletes think progress = more miles, more intensity, more work.

But the athletes who actually improve long-term know when to pull back.

Here are some signs it’s time to deload:
❌ You wake up tired or fatigued consistently
❌ Your legs feel heavy and sluggish
❌ Your performance has plateaued (or dropped)
❌ Nagging aches and pains won’t go away
❌ Injuries are popping up more often or taking longer to heal

If you have 2–3 of these… it’s time.

A deload doesn’t mean doing nothing.
It means strategically reducing volume and/or intensity so your body can:
✔️ Recover fully
✔️ Adapt to training
✔️ Come back stronger

General guideline:
– At least 1 deload week every 8–12 weeks
– More often if your body is telling you it needs it

For some athletes (especially women), aligning deloads with your cycle can be a game changer.

Progress isn’t just built in the grind…
It’s built in the recovery.

Be honest, do you currently program deload weeks? 👇
Or are you just pushing through fatigue?

Drop it in the comments.

Feet fatiguing during your runs or rides? Start here.

Most endurance athletes overlook their feet… until they start burning, cramping, or feeling unstable late in workouts.

That’s a problem.

Your feet are your foundation. If they fatigue early, everything up the chain...ankles, knees, hips...have to compensate.

This elevated toe march hold is a simple but powerful way to:
✔️ Build foot and ankle stability
✔️ Improve balance and control
✔️ Increase muscular endurance where it matters most

Key focus points:
– Stay on the ball of your foot (heel level or slightly elevated)
– Keep your core engaged
– Control each march—don’t rush it
– Drive pressure through the big toe

You should feel this in your feet and calves pretty quickly.

That’s the goal.

Build strength where you need it so you’re not falling apart late in your workouts or races.

Try this out and let me know how it feels 👇

It’s not your age… it’s how you train.

Yes, your body changes over time. But that doesn’t mean pain, stiffness, or slowing down has to define your future.

What I see every day:
Athletes blaming “getting older” when it’s actually:
❌ Lack of strength training
❌ Poor training structure
❌ Ignoring small aches until they become big problems
❌ No plan for long-term performance

After 35, things do start to shift. But the athletes who:
✔️ Strength train consistently
✔️ Follow a structured plan
✔️ Address issues early
✔️ Stay proactive with their body

…they don’t fall off, they keep performing.

I’ve got athletes in their 60s and 70s still running, cycling, and competing at a high level.

That’s not luck. That’s intention.

If something feels off, don’t just chalk it up to age.
That’s how small problems turn into long-term setbacks.
