Hello. After Oleg Gennadievich's last visit to Kiev, we were inspired by the club «Blagost» and the early rises, as well as four-hour walks and running. Thank you heartily!

Since childhood, I have been engaged in professional sports (trampoline) from 6 to 20 years old. Now I'm 29. As much time as before, I certainly do not devote to the body. happens periods. Now there are walks and running, I want to connect more yoga. My brains are athletes, but the body is no longer there. I ran a couple of times for an hour and switched to two-hour runs. The first time was very difficult, the head hurt all day, the second and the third time - much easier. But my knees hurt a lot.

I heard in the lectures of Oleg Gennadievich that this was normal and that after six months they stopped getting sick. But I started with a big load, while running, I feel comfortable, but after such pain on the cups in one place, as if they were beaten. It seems that the temperature there is even higher. Are these inflammatory processes? The pain doesn't go away in a week. And I run again. It becomes scary. Is it worth it to keep running like this for a long time? Thanks for the answer. I wish you happiness.

Hello Tatiana!

Since you are a former athlete, your mind is focused on results. Such consciousness leads to results, since it is prone to stress, but does not lead to recovery, and this is initially incorrect thinking. Therefore, you need to reduce the amount of running time now. Up to 1 hour will be fine for you. Jogging once a week and non-stop, calm walking once a week. Walk and run in this mode for four months.

For now, postpone jogging until the knee pain subsides. Leave only walks. In the future, resume jogging. It is normal that due to such a heavy load, inflammatory processes have started in the knees. You got to the sore and began to transfer it to the active phase, after which this sore begins to be treated. But you started doing it too zealously. Then, after 4 months of such loads, you can gradually increase your jogging time, adding 15 minutes each.

I would also recommend that after jogging or walking, lie in the bath for 10 minutes, if you have such an opportunity. This relaxes the body, and the effects of stress on the body are more easily tolerated. You can add oiling, this will also relax the body after exercise.
